No matter what the content, I now find it hard to read articles where it feels like the author has a personal point to make. This is somewhere between news and opinion. Perhaps the author's explanation of the facts is correct-- or perhaps he is interpreting facts for his own personal views. It's hard to tell so I just end up not really putting much weight into the article.
- eropple 8y agoThat seems ill-advised to me. Yeah, he has a bias. So does literally everyone else. The notion of unbiased news is 1) fiction, and 2) fiction that exists to support a status quo that may or may not be to the readers' liking or their best interests. An honest accounting of where one stands allows you to calibrate for it. Dishonest impartiality--and, for reals, it's all dishonest--robs you of that ability.
- nostromo 8y agoVox (which owns The Verge) was explicitly created as a left/progressive news organization. The founders come from The Howard Dean campaign, Daily Kos, The American Prospect, etc. I'm not saying this disparingley, just to point out that they've always had an explicitly left point of view. I'm not exactly shocked that they dislike Scott Walker.
- ychen306 8y agoThe article is fairly well-sourced. I am not saying this makes it unbiased; but if you are not-satisfied with the conclusion, you can verify the quotes and make up your own.
