I watch both for giggles and they both are biased.

You only find truth when you either directly talk to someone who is in the actual know of the news being presented, or go outside the major networks particularly those on USA TV channels.

Luckily the internet can provide other lenses to view recent news events but as all "news" it can be inaccurate too.

National TV news is mostly pure garbage with a huge amount of bias depending on what audience they are pandering to.

The truth about the NYT is it's the USA state paper in regards to Foreign Policy. But we are a little more ethical and balanced than China.

It's not corrupt unless you view it that way. FP officials have to pick a paper to talk to don't they? Most news networks can't even afford to hire FP journalists -- too damn expensive for articles the public doesn't even understand.

I heard the Washington Post actually has a C;A shell company that owns a large controlling stake of the newspaper.

Having trouble proving it but its in the works. Its one of those darkweb deepstate infograms that had the info.

the NYT is just cucked and requires no such hands-on ballsack approach.

it depends on the pundits. Shepard Smith actually has some journalistic integrity while Hannity and Carlson are complete right wing shills. I'm surprised/not surprised Shep hasn't been fired. On the one hand he can go use facts and analysis so complete destroy whatever bullshit narrative Hannity and friends are pushing, but on the other hand Shep gives fox someone to point to and say "see, we're fair and balanced, look at Shep. look look!"

Honestly, if you're looking for legacy mainstream media sources, the only option is to read/listen to stories from multiple stories and try to separate the facts from spin. I can't think of one legacy media outlet that honestly tries to present an "unbiased" point of view.

The problem is traditional, neutral journalism doesn't sell. Even if a company has ethical journalists that want to inform the public neutrally, they simply are overshadowed by the editorializing that has become necessary to keep their business afloat today.

The only place you'll find neutral journalists that control the pov from investigation to reporting is in (a small portion) of alternative media.

Tim Pool is a good example. Hated by both the left and right.

What kind of media does a guy with a forum handle icedwards consider neutral journalism? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.][You must be logged in to view images.
