I understand people's grievances with "mainstream media", but the fact that Jacobin and Breitbart get propped up as "better" alternatives is kind of terrifying.

- zdragnar 4y agoAt least they are more honest about providing a particular editorial lens to the type of news and content they produce. Edit: that said, having them as primary sources for consumption is obviously much worse than actual journalism built on journalistic principals. We simply don't have much of that at all anymore (if we really ever did, which I think an argument could be made it was somewhat better previously).
- ericmay 4y agoAre they honest about it? What do you mean? Like does Breitbart come out and list it in the site “we are far right blah blah blah”? If not I don’t see how you couldn’t also say that CNN, Fox, and Bloomberg aren’t also honest about their slant.
