Any major newspaper is partisan nowadays. Weird that people will only ask for alternative sources in certain newspapers.
- koheripbal 5y agoBias is not a binary value. There are sources which are more or less biased, and we should strive to reward and share the journalists that try to guard their less-biased reputations.
- ekianjo 5y agowhich source is less biased than others?
- babyblueblanket 5y agoReuters, Axios, AP news?
- orhmeh09 5y agoI have read enough biased statements in the above publications and am aware of enough of their internal politics to see possible motives in their reporting -- such as who they hire: https://www.thomsonreuters.com/en-us/posts/authors/dawn-scalici/ https://www.thomsonreuters.com/en-us/posts/authors/dawn-scal... > Dawn Scalici joined Thomson Reuters in July 2015 to serve as the company’s first Government Global Business Director. She is charged with the responsibility of advancing Thomson Reuters’ ability to meet the disparate needs of the U.S. Government—working across the company’s major business lines and optimally leveraging its vast and unique data, products, and services. In this capacity she develops strategic relationships with government sector constituents and key decision-makers, develops campaigns to promote Thomson Reuters’ business growth, and works with the company’s senior executives to determine relevant strategic goals and plans. > Prior to joining Thomson Reuters, Ms. Scalici served 33 years with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). In her last federal assignment, she served as the National Intelligence Manager for the Western Hemisphere within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). In this role, she was responsible for overseeing national intelligence for an area of responsibility spanning from the Arctic to the tip of South America, including the US Homeland. > Ms. Scalici serves on the Board of Directors for the Association for International Risk Intelligence Professionals and on the Board of Advisors of the Momentum Aviation Group (MAG). She also serves on the Intelligence Committee of the Arms Forces Communications and Electronics Association (AFCEA) and the Homeland Security Intelligence Council of the Intelligence and National Security Alliance (INSA).
- koheripbal 5y agoYou are citing a possible source of bias for three specific individuals. That does not speak to whether the bias is present in their organization as a whole to the same degree as other publications you might more readily consider biased.
- orhmeh09 5y agoHmm, I could have explained why that is problematic. The article here does it better than I can. On its own, a former CIA official working a different job is not unusual, that is agreed — on its own and not part of a pattern. https://thegrayzone.com/2021/08/04/twitter-uk-cia-reuters-censorship/ https://thegrayzone.com/2021/08/04/twitter-uk-cia-reuters-ce...

- jonwachob91 5y agoOP didn't ask for an "alternative sources in certain newspapers", OP asked for a source from the AG's office.
- read_if_gay_ 5y agoSorry, I meant that as in if this were the NYT I don’t think somebody would have asked for another source even though it would still be justified to do so.
