    This is flat out wrong. There are absolutely more biased and less biased sources, and practices/values held by outlets with integrity to reduce bias.

    Mixing them all into one pot so you can say everything is equal to Fox News and you can’t trust anything is some serious propaganda intended to weaken the idea that there is an objective reality.

    Get out of here with that nonsense.

      I never stated there wasn’t a scale of bias. Nor did I mix them all into a single pot. Now did I say everything is a bad as fix news. Nor did I say you can’t trust anything. I agree with all of what you just said.

      What I said was that there is no such thing as objectivity. It is impossible for a multitude of factors. The best we can achieve is an attempt at balance. And because of that you should never get your news from a single source.

      How is that “propaganda” and “nonsense?”
