There is no such thing as unbiased news; there is only less-biased news.
What this product seems to be calling 'unbiased' is based a single bias, which is overt political bias. There are many other biases that can impact news reporting.
Overt political bias is probably the least worrying thing in a democracy as it is easy to identify and weigh accordingly.
The more worrying biases that exist in news reporting currently are those that are more covert such as financial incentives and self-censoring of topics. A lot of topics simply aren't reported and the mainstream doesn't question why.
- lintfail 5y agoThanks for your comment! Agreed 100% that there are different types of political biases, with in the context of this product "unbiased" translates to "leaning center". Up on thinking further, it might be worth making that clear upfront, we will update this. Would you be interested in a version of this product that resurfaces under reported stories/topics?
