Aww, don't try to be clever. Bias isn't an issue, they are too free of nuance actually. They basically just repeat what's happened, in a cut and dry fashion. I'll admit "garbage" is heavy handed, but with the Trump administration in particular telling 3rd degree lies on an hourly basis, having them post "Trump shows letter stating he's the smartest man in America." And that's just it, they repeated what happened in a direct and unbiased fashion, yes. Was the truth served? Or at the very least reasonable scrutiny? It's fine for maybe some updates but no one really learns anything of value. It's why I stopped following them a while back. Krystal Ball and whatever that guys name show is legit awful "both sides" nonsense tho. Also bias isn't an automatically bad thing. Bias and honesty can coexist.

Your attitude is exactly the problem with journalism right now. You want to replace journalism with activism. An activist pretending to be a journalist is a propagandist. Absolutely can't stand that shit. It also takes a lot longer to get the news because now I have to constantly fact-check these hacks.

PeterPopoff 13 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Fortunately this is just a worthless gaming board that doesn't matter, because in general, stop talking about race is about the worst solution possible for dealing with racists. Link to post Share on other sites

No I don't want my news to reaffirm my biases. That's not what news is or should be. Their show is commentary, the news on the Hill website is perfectly fine. Link to post Share on other sites

Quoting Trump directly saying something like "he inheritted a poor economy" or whatever with absolutely no context is essentially reporting a lie. Link to post Share on other sites
