If doing quality journalism ends up being negative for one political party, the problem might not be with the journalists.

If doing quality journalism ends up being negative for one political party, the problem might not be with the journalists.
- mark_l_watson 1y agoGiven the poor candidates running in the last election, I don’t blame anyone for criticizing either candidate. Still, sources like PBS and The Atlantic that have close to 100% of their employees in one political party simply become less interesting. Anyway, apologies for the political post earlier. On re-reading my original post I see how it is politically charged, something I like to avoid. Hopefully my previous post gets downvoted into oblivion.
- lan321 1y agoMeh. Any journalist or corpo that never praises actions of party X and never critises actions of party Y is sketchy. As someone with finite time it's one of my main propaganda detectors. Don't know if they were like that, parent seems to go in that direction.
- mark_l_watson 1y agoExactly right, and also: except for election seasons I budget only about an hour a week for news and politics, but a little more for geopolitical and geo financial material. I choose a few sources, stick with them for a month or two, then move on. Lately I have been enjoying news from sources in Singapore, and I like the Israeli news outlet Harretz because they seem to cover both sides of issues.
