Unbiased news source??

[dnf777]

There seems to be a never ending patterns of someone making a claim, it being attacked, it being supported by a reference, the REFERENCE then being attacked......on and on....

Lets hear of some people's honest idea of a NON-BIASED news source? Fox? CNN? Lehmans' News Hour? We all know where to go when we want OUR opinions and views validated, but realize they are not truly unbiased. So where are the plain, vanilla news facts reported?

I would have made a poll, but I don't know who all to include.

I was flipping between Fox, CNN and Msnbc the other day, they were all covering the same story because I recognized the same pictures but the reporting could not have been any different

There is no such thing as unbiased news. Read the book, "How to Lie with Statisitics", and you will never read or listen to ANY news the same again. You will question your own brainwashing from the media of your preference.

I look at the facts, and what the economists say is best for the USA, and my beliefs for freedom and the the risks associated with freedom.

I was listening to Minnesota Public Radio the other day and the guest interviewee, who was a journalist (can't recall the name anymore), said the objective reporting we used to get from the news media has given way to the journalism of advocacy and hype. Instead of informing, it inflames and contributes greatly to the polarization we see in the body politic. I think he was spot on.

It is really great for the profit line as you can cut reporting the staff that really can bore down to the truth. Just take a story off the wire, speculate wildly on its meaning, and call it news. There is cash in feeding the masses raw meat, but, it doesn't lend much to cool decision making needed to keep the nation functioning.

Simply put, it's about generating income.

Read it in college as an assignment. GREAT book. But aren't economists also biased? I doubt many on this forum read and digest what Paul Krugman or Thom Freidman say!? When you say you "look at the facts"...that is my question....WHERE do you get unbiased facts? (I know, facts in and of themsevles are unbiased, but the media that delivers them often are!)

I do! And I bet there wouldn't be too many here that would be surprised...
