I thought it was widely understood that bias-less journalism is impossible in practice, and that this doesn't diminish its value.

- mdiesel 6y agoMaybe, but just because it's impossible doesn't mean there shouldn't be an effort to try or that we shouldn't appreciate better journalism. Biased isn't a boolean, it's a scale. Something that is a little bit biased is more useful for trying to understand all the issues at hand. Something that's very biased is still useful, but only for telling you what the author (and their readership) thinks.
- notsureaboutpg 6y agoSure, then why are people upset when others rightfully point out that so much of "the media" has a specific bias and that that's affecting us in negative ways as a society?
