Depends what you mean by slant. Fox News slant is bad, Slate slant is good. The measure isn't whether the slant is in a particular political direction--it's intellectual honesty and quality of reasoning. For that reason, pulling off a slant usually means that you come down hard on everyone, so the only acceptable bias at a good news operation is an anti-BS bias.
- Goladus 19y agoOne of my biggest problems with a lot of Media is that they mistake 'coming down hard on everyone' or 'show both sides of the story' with thorough research and logic. When the focus is on avoiding bias, rather than on improving substance, that's what you get. Usually, slanted articles are bad less because they're slanted and more because they're poorly researched and contain few insights.
