Does the media report fairly

No.

it does not need to be.

A better question might be "Is media ever fair?"

The various elements of the media are either state-controlled or independent.

Even when it is not deliberately biased, State-controlled media is always looking over its shoulder to make sure that it is not offending those in charge.

Independent media is in business, generally speaking, to make a profit. This means that the owners/editors will do what they think best to increase revenues.
