I will start by clearing my throat and admitting that I'm both terribly biased and cynical, but the reason (IMHO) why "the bias narrative" is the One Approved Truth is because it is the foundational dogma of White Saviorism aka Woke Social Justice, which is simply a rebooted 21st-century White Man's Burden.
In the Social Justice dispensation the sacred narrative is that the heroic NYT/NPR modern Quaker takes the poor helpless black person by the hand and promises to feel their pain, protect them from those Other Whites who "just don't get it" and maybe score them a job in the Diversity sector. This is why white liberals treat black people like children, because they see themselves as the protagonists in this new Civil Rights narrative and for the protagonist to be a hero there needs to a helpless victim to save.
And as for the Carol Simpsons of the world, we can tell that her beliefs are more theological than reasonable, because she can't really defend them with reason or facts, but only by denouncing any dissenters as evil heretics. And while she may accuse anyone to the right of her of mercenary motives, we know she is also not beyond opportunism: If she never budges from the Bias Narrative, she and her family will always have a seat in media, culture, academia, as these are all owned by the Left, and there will be all sorts of career and financial opportunities; but if she allows any right-coded thoughts to creep into her head, she'll be banished to the grim underworld of Red America, where you maybe get on Fox occasionally but you'll never get a perch in academia or your pic taken with the Obamas.
So the Bias Narrative will reign mostly unopposed as long as the modern Social Justice movement remains a show written, produced and directed by white liberals, with the paramount purpose always being the fulfillment of their emotional, spiritual and political needs.

The "White Savior" element in this whole movement is hard to ignore
