Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted January 11, 2017 So which are they? Say one was going to create a news organization with the core conviction that the writers and reporters would present the news without opinion, is that even possible? I'm sure some stories would be, but I would imagine that most writers and reporters feel pretty passionate about what they do. Could then keep opinion out of the most polarizing stories and events?

Filthy Fernadez 2,696 Posted January 11, 2017 CNN, MSNBC, CBS are ultra left leaning and Fox is right leaning. I'm going to say read Drudge, Fox and watch Headline News for Robin Meade. Fair and balanced as it can be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cyclone24 1,814 Posted January 11, 2017 When Al Jazeera was on it wasn't too bad. And the BBC is fairly neutral. At least that is who Sean Hannity tells me is unbiased Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted January 11, 2017 Wasn't there just a whole big thread on this? Hmm didn't see it I guess. Well I also wanted to get my point that I'm not sure if it's even plausible to make every report without opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rholio 339 Posted January 11, 2017 If there is, would it be recognized as such? The right would tell you it's wrong, and the left would tell you it's wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sho Nuff 719 Posted January 11, 2017 Says the guy with the CNN tramp stamp. See...you say stuff like this with literally zero to back it up. We have you claiming that people should read Drudge and Fox...and that the others are ultra left leaning (left leaning sure...I don't think you even know what ultra left is...MSNBC comes closest). You are seriously coming off as foolish as you possibly can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CNN taking part in rigging the Democratic nomination? I'd say that leans far left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
