    I’m sceptical, the only difference between news sources is how your bias gets confirmed, or not. Even “impartial” sources use framing and subtle use of words to push an opinion. There’s a reason exceedingly rich people invest in news outlets. It’s a loss leader. They are purchasing a 20k watt sound system to drown out any opposing view.

      This is right-wing propaganda you’re regurgitating here. It’s the whole foundation of things like FoxNews: claim all news is biased, and poor conservatives are not being represented, and then make a conservative news outlet and claim it’s fair because “all sources are biased.”

      Sure, it’s true, there is no such thing as completely unbiased, which is why this has a grain of truth to it. All the best lies are rooted in some reality. But there are sources that are far more accurate and less biased than others. “Well, they’re all biased” is just more of the “all sides are the same!” BS.
