There is no such thing. Even if only through the selection of events considered "newsworthy", reporting news _always_ implies a particular narrative of the world, and politics is nothing but competing narratives.
- webkike 10y agoWhat if the articles printed are randomly selected from a pool? Additionally, I am talking about the content of the articles. News Papers for example already have opinion pieces so the paper as a whole cannot be unbiased. Additionally it is obvious that a news paper cannot print all of the news and to some extent that betrays a bias, but no one expects a single news source to contain all of the news in the entire world. My point is that articles themselves are often unbiased, and blanket treatment of media networks as biased is not a fair statement.
