I actually agree, I (maybe consciously, maybe subconsciously) choose to read the news from the left, since the United Kingdom doesn't really have balanced news. The BBC, for example, might as well be the official state outlet of the Conservatives and American news democrats, with their outright disdain for Corbyn, and their refusal (with late acceptance) to publish stories about DNC leaks – I'm forced to pay for the BBC, I'm not forced to pay for news from the left.
- sievebrain 10y agoIf you deliberately seek out news sources you know to be biased, and then compare them to other news sources, aren't you always going to conclude that those other sources are biased in the other direction? You say the BBC has "outright disdain" for Corbyn but in my experience BBC News does manage to do a pretty good job of being unbiased. Are you sure that they aren't just reporting an unfiltered flow of stories and many of them happy to be pretty negative, thus they may seem to be biased?
