Media Bias

I still think the fake news/bias mantra is way overblown especially since Trump started calling anything and everything fake news. People now use it as a crutch to discount news they don’t agree with. Of course you don’t want to rely on one source for all of your news, that’s just common sense. And there will always be some people not capable of critical thinking in order to sort through all the noise.

People act like back in the good old days news wasn’t biased and it was always just the facts. That’s BS. We just have a larger volume of information coming at us today and it’s 24/7 crap to sift through.

This is a chart from www.allgeneralizationsarefalse.com (http://www.allgeneralizationsarefalse.com) that looks like the author has put good research into it.

Interesting to compare this against Chico's post above where he thinks CBS
and NBC are clearly biased and CNN is doing the devil's work.

I like my choice's as well.

As I have said in other parts of this blog, I consider myself moderately liberal, but with a good understanding and appreciation of conservative positions. Some people think that means that the sources I placed on the chart should all be shifted over to the left one column. If so, that’s fine—you can mentally shift them all over to the left and continue to use the chart that way.

I doubt this is an exact graph and given Chicos fiery nature his characterizations are understandable

Personally I've always gone to NPR, WSJ, and BBC to find some balance. I've generally found it difficult to stay interested in the news since Trump was elected.

If u think that’s a good chart for CNN...wow

I think the high level of reporting facts based on unnamed sources is a shift in journalism standards over the last ten years is a move in the wrong direction

I'm really glad you found this, I saw this a couple weeks ago but couldn't dig it up later. For the most part it reaffirms my bias' on where I think most agencies stand too.

It's open for debate Chico, as are all opinion based pieces.

As it is, I rarely read and never watch CNN so I have to go by your opinion that CNN is published by the devil and other's opinions on it.

As for unnamed sources, I understand your viewpoint but I also understand that if a source would like to keep their job (aka the reason why they can be a source in the first place) at a high level of gov't it's probably for the best imo. I know there are exceptions but I also believe most sources are vetted and/or confirmed before they start publishing info, and if they aren't they could at least include a disclaimer to state otherwise. And I also acknowledge it's an imperfect system where occasionally unconfirmed rumors get published and usually end up being retracted later with 1/10 the views the original publication got.

Yet it's a better position then your FOX news or your "INFOWARS"

Trump looks like a real ass doing this .............
