>yes both are biased
I’ve never understood why we need to make these caveats. “Objective” or “just the facts” news has never existed. It’s impossible.
I’m not knocking you, I just think it’s silly you should even feel pressure to publicly acknowledge something so patently obvious, yet we both know that if you didn’t the chance is high that the first comment you’d get is a complaint about your “biased” media outlets. As if any other kind exists lol
- xvedejas 3y agoIf you don't say this, someone somewhere on the internet will accuse you of thinking your news source is perfectly unbiased, even if you never said such a thing. It's a useful caveat just to try and defuse that kind of low signal argumentation.
- Forgeties79 3y agoYeah that’s what I said lol
- wak90 3y agoUnderstanding that unbiased reporting is a farce requires some understanding of media literacy and in my experience most people do not have that literacy nor a desire to learn about it. So the caveat is unfortunately necessary.
- Forgeties79 3y agoI agree, I’m just venting how annoying it is that it’s even required.
