Two Unbiased MSM Outlets
« on: September 09, 2020, 09:06:50 AM »
I can't find it anymore, but there was a "rigorous" analysis a while back that ranked major news outlets by their biases. Both The Hill and CNN were in the "middle of the road, mostly fair reporting" column.

I never really considered The Hill to be particularly biased, but I guess I also never paid them much attention since they seem to have very little original reporting.
In the moral, catatonic stupor America finds itself in today it is only disagreement we seek, and the more virulent that disagreement, the better.
