Where can I find unbiased news?

It's not about bias. It's about the skill of critical thought. You need that as the lens for whatever you read/see.

Progress is GOOD. Being a progressive is a human value. The news covers PEOPLE and people want empathy for their challenges. That alone makes most people, who are not rich white men, lean left.

its not about white men. its that the US government has completely abandoned service on both a federal and local level.

Find a topic you want to know more about , and research it yourself using a wide variety of source, not just news if you can look at the actual research and data this articles source.

Look at materials from outside of the USA.


It might not be as quick as clicking on a link ,but you;ll be better informed.

Yes, lecture us further on this “lens.”

It seems every single story on NPR includes a reference to a “lens.”

More example of Washington Post bias… rushing to defend Walz:

Fox News and others trusting people to do their own research and come to their own conclusions rather than just malign bad stories as “disinformation”

Fox doesn't bother to get information right in the first place, and once a story is debunked, Fox doesn't issue corrections or even stop saying the untrue thing. So if your idea of balance is reliable source says one thing, fount of lies says another, you pick whichever one you want, keeping Fox as a source is reasonable.

But as The Colbert Report told us, fact has a known liberal bias.

Definitely not!

- it’s about all the cisgender white males.

Once we marginalize them, all will be fine. Trust me.

You should try it. We did, and we love it.

Inexplicably, some people willfully choose ignorance.

There is also a chart showing how far sources lean. I usually look at foxnews, nytimes and bbc and then call it a day.

+1 same. Belive it or not foxnews is more sane and fair than cnn, nbc, and the others. Give it a try.

Has CNN ever had to pay out hundreds of millions for making up news?

To be sure, the NYT, Washington Post and the New Republic all have famous cases involving plagiarism and fabulism (see Jayson Blair, Janet Cooke and Stephen Glass, respectively). The difference is how these credible news organizations handled those scandals.

I am old enough to remember Fox News’s “fair and balanced” slogan.

Not anymore. That's why they forced Tucker out.
But the jokes on them, Tucker now gets 20 times more viewers (100 million+ viewers each day now, compared to 4 million on Fox) now that he can speak the truth and not be censored.

Is that what he is doing? Truth telling?

Knock me over with a feather.

There is an app called Ground News (free) that shows all the trending news and then how each media outlet covers it via a line graph at the bottom. Then you can click through to see each news outlets coverage.

They also have a tab called "blind spot" so you can see when the left or right are not covering a news story at all. This is my attempt to add a photo 🤞
