Media Bias

[Chico23231]

Meat potatoes from the article:

In the zeal to “hold Trump accountable,” or oppose figures like Vladimir Putin, ethical guardrails have been tossed out. Silent edits have become common. Serious accusations are made without calling people for comment. Reporters get too cozy with politicians, and as a result report information either without attribution at all or sourced to unnamed officials or “people familiar with the matter.” Like scientists, journalists should be able to reproduce each other’s work in the lab. With too many anonymous sources, this becomes impossible.

Normalization of bad ethics. That’s it, that’s the story

I take from this substack "all media is bias" ... your take "left media is bias"

C'est la vie.

Absolutely as most journalists are leftist. The problem in the argument now is I can actually go to Journalists social media and verify their bias. Prior to social media, you “felt” there was bias, now it facts from them directly. I’m not talking clown shows like huff, slate, salon, daily beast, Atlantic…I’m talking the major news organizations.

That’s the change, that’s the meat and the potatoes
