Corporate news aren't partisan.
Unless you count chasing the bottom line as an ideology, that is.
Fox, to take an extreme examples, isn't really partisan. They have just found a juicy business model where they've learnt to titillate the sensitivities of a certain segment of the population to maximize revenue.
I don't have problem with a biased news source, as long as I have enough news sources to dig from and can average out the bias from multiple sources.

They have just found a juicy business model where they've learnt to titillate the sensitivities of a certain segment of the population to maximize revenue. That just describes their motivations as not being partisan. Their product is still highly partisan.
- ur-whale 5y ago> Their product is still highly partisan. Fair enough, but they're not really a news source.
- MattGaiser 5y agoI agree with you there.
- strken 5y agoIt's quite cynical and unfair to say neither Fox nor (for example) Jacobin really believe in what they produce, but instead just serve whichever market segments profit them. In all probability, the employees of both believe deeply in their respective missions and in their reporting.
- chrisseaton 5y ago> Corporate news aren't partisan. You’ve got to be joking? For example in the UK newspapers, even the best ones, literally declare their support for a particular party at the start of each election.
