Proof of negative reporting on Trump is no proof of unfair reporting on Trump. In fact, it would be unfair if it were positive.

In the absence of evidence, it is. When the only provable collusion between the Russians and an American President occurred under Barack Obama is excused and Trump is accused by the media of being an agent of the Russian government without any tangible evidence whatsoever, it is.
There is a mountain of circumstantial evidence of Trump's ties to the Russian government -- and Russian mobsters -- and in any case, we're not talking about that alone. Everything else about this Admin makes positive reporting on it unfair and usually dishonest.
All I looked at was number one and it provides zero evidence of Trump collusion with the Russian gov't. Remember you're calling the President an agent of the Russian government,
On a phone call with a longtime friend a couple of days after the election, Hillary was much less accepting of her defeat. She put a fine point on the factors she believed cost her the presidency: the FBI (Comey), the KGB (the old name for Russia’s intelligence service), and the KKK (the support Trump got from white nationalists).
“I’m angry,” Hillary told her friend. And exhausted. After two brutal campaigns against Sanders and Trump, Hillary now had to explain the failure to friends in a seemingly endless round of phone calls. That was taking a toll on her already weary and grief-stricken soul. But mostly, she was mad— mad that she’d lost and that the country would have to endure a Trump presidency.

Pretty much what I would have said. "Reporting on historic shitshow describes Trump presidency as shitshow" isn't bias.
Most things written about Stalin, Ted Bundy, diphtheria, and Celine Dion are also negative. So what's the point?

And his conduct in office alone would be fair grounds to at least suspect that, without anything else.
Rep. Maxine Waters said once we're able to "connect the dots" with Russian collusion, Trump will be impeachable. Waters acknowledges there is no evidence yet, however said, "much of what you saw coming out of Trump's mouth was a play from Putin's playbook."
You asked for evidence of his connections with the Russian government, and such evidence exists in plenty. (That documentary is mainly about his connections to Russian oligarchs/mobsters, but in Russia that is usually a distinction without a difference.) Evidence of collusion is what Special Counsel Mueller and the FBI and the Congressional committees are now looking for, as they should, since his connections give rise to reasonable suspicion of collusion.
