I won't be satisfied with AI until I have a TV that can mute all commercials and both mute and go black on all political ads.

Good luck with that, especially as so much of the stuff that is presented as "news" is advertising.

I suspect that, long before an AI system is large enough to be "accurate", it will have been co-opted by some special interest. Example: there was recently an uproar about a move to prohibit "cashless bail". Watching the network "news" report, while the human reporters were saying one thing, the banner headline on screen said "protecting cash bail", as if the move in question was protecting people's right to get out on bail, rather than rationing the ability to be released on bail by ability to pay. A trained AI system could generate spin, and myths so fast it would put Sean Hannity to shame.
