Anybody ever heard of an unbiased media?
IS there such a beast as a totally unbiased media source? I live in the good ole U S of A and though I do love my country and the people in it (for the most part) I'd like to know if there is really such a thing as a completely unbiased media source. I suspect that reporting from outside the country may be less biased than whatever comes from the purchased mouthpieces inside the country, as outsiders usually have less stake in what's going on INSIDE the country.
I just want to get the WHOLE story for once, instead of getting just enough from the left or the right to support whatever point their side is trying to make.
Actually, I've found that Comedy Central's Daily Show with John Stewart seems to be somewhat less biased than other media sources, mainly because they're a comedy show, not "real" news, and they're not afraid to **** off either side in the political arena. Even NPR seems to have their own agenda to peddle.
I've completely given up on reading a newspaper, or G_d forbid watching the local news, or what passes for news around here, as TV news seems to be more into pushing their own agenda, than reporting the true happenings.
Any thoughts? Any sources?
