All media sources have bias. Just because it has bias, does not automatically mean that its wrong.

Agree/disagree? Why?

It is impossible to examine facts and not form opinions about said facts. Despite anyone's best efforts, it is nearly impossible to present information without your bias stepping in. I think the important thing to do is acknowledge your bias while presenting information and making a strong effort to give the opposing view so that your presentation is balanced. If you balance your information than the ready doesn't have to know which side you actually fall on, but it is the consumer's responsibility to find both sides of an argument an then make a decision, though information is information and having an opinion on the topic doesn't make it any less informative when providing facts. The issue with "biased" news is the lying.

@Icantsoishant The whole idea one can't report just facts without putting in their opinion is as toxic lie used to justify doing it.

@MethDozer Your opinion will be revealed in the words and language you choose. The tone of your voice or the way you present yourself while providing information, in how much you provide opposing information or opinions. It is a subtle reality that you can believe does not exist all you want but things become more simple when you embrace truth and balance the information you intake on your own rather than trusting a news outlet to do it for you.

It's impossible to.stay informed without news outlets. That is what it is their job to report on topics in a factual rather than agenda driven manner. Opinion has No place outside of the editorials.
The problem is articles written to entertain.
