If you think this kind of reporting is cool, you should donate to https://fair.org https://fair.org. Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR) has been exposing two-faced news for decades. They are worthy of your attention.

Fair has its own issues - or did last I checked which was a while ago. They used to claim reporters were biased towards the right. That used to be a left-wing claim, but it’s no longer credible. Something like 90% of reporters are left-wing. Maybe they’ve reformed, and aren’t in the business of providing partisan talking points anymore.

  >90% of reporters are left wing Citation very much needed. Also, what percent of reporting news organization owners are left wing?

  They're so far left that nearly everyone seems right wing to them. It's a persistent problem for people on the fringes of the political spectrum. I guess if they were aware of this, they probably wouldn't be on the fringe in the first place.

I second that. When I was a news junkie, I would love reading their (occasional) posts. Glad they're still around.

FAIR has its own biases, and these can be quite strong (have a glance at the studies on their website and judge for yourself). IMO, the Columbia Journalism Review (https://www.cjr.org https://www.cjr.org) is a better source for media criticism.

    Please, do explain to everyone what you think is biased about it, and why.

      Their headlines include lines about marching against fascists and calling people toadies. This would indicate their bias is rather left.
      - dragonwriter 1y ago
        I mean, if the ground truth was that fascism did not exist and no people were toadies, sure. OTOH, posting something that only makes sense in that context in 2025 would indicate a bias that is rather Right.

        Would you say the bias was rather left if this was the 1930s?
