We don't all read the same things. I have heard plenty of echoes the other way too, DH. I generally don't berate people for what they read. I also tend to read from both sides of stories.

If you want to take me on in a discussion, do it. Don't try to shift blame when it doesn't go your way. The problem with debates these days is that people who feel they are morally superior because their version of progressiveness is the only correct one, buy so heavily into it, they find opposition repugnant and attack the messenger rather than the message. This is one of the reason for division and actual hatred in society.

AllSides Media Bias Rating: Center https://www.allsides.com/news-source/npr-media-bias A Center media bias rating does not necessarily mean a source is unbiased, neutral, perfectly reasonable, or credible. It simply means the source or writer rated does not predictably publish perspectives favoring either end of the political spectrum — conservative or liberal. A Center outlet may not show much predictable bias, or its bias leans to the left and right equally at different times. A media outlet with a Center rating may omit important perspectives, or run individual articles that display bias, while not displaying a lot of predictable bias in its content overall.

So long as all the facts are presented and fact checked then maybe. Patriots 24 Dolphins 33 is relatively unbiased. Dolphins beat Patriots 33 to 24 begins to impart some semantic bias. Dolphins spoil Patriots late season attempt to get a good seed in playoffs 33/24 is a bit more biased. All are "just the facts" but propaganda is the art of using facts the way you need to. One can proceed to the extreme..........Patriots choke against Dolphins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page Turner Posted January 11, 2022 Share #43 Posted January 11, 2022 ...do any of you people actually know the history of the Washington Examiner ? It's pretty easily researched. They used to give the print edition away free way back when they started up, because you get what you pay for. Now, because the internet has made all our lives so much better, I'm not 1000% certain they even print it any more. I used to love it back then, because the free newsprint sheets are so handy for a variety of hobby tasks and paper training your puppy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page Turner Posted January 11, 2022 Share #48 Posted January 11, 2022 Washington Examiner The publication now known as the Washington Examiner began its life as a handful of suburban news outlets known as the Journal Newspapers, distributed not in Washington D.C. itself, but only in the suburbs of Washington: Montgomery Journal, Prince George's Journal, and Northern Virginia Journal.[7] Philip Anschutz purchased the parent company, Journal Newspapers Inc., in October 2004.[3][8][9] On February 1, 2005, the paper's name changed to the Washington Examiner, and it adopted a logo and format similar to those of another newspaper then owned by Anschutz, San Francisco Examiner.[7] The Washington Examiner became increasingly influential in conservative political circles, hiring much of the talent from The Washington Times.[10] The website DCist wrote in March 2013: "Despite the right-wing tilt of [the Examiner's] editorial pages and sensationalist front-page headlines, it also built a reputation as one of the best local sections in D.C."[11] The newspaper's local coverage also gained attention, including a write-up by The New York Times,[12] for contributing to the arrest of more than 50 fugitives through a feature that each week spotlighted a different person wanted by law enforcement agencies. In March 2013, the company announced that it would stop printing a daily edition in June and refocus on national politics. The print edition was converted to a weekly magazine, while the website was continually updated.[13] The new format was compared to that of The Hill.[5][13] In December 2018, Clarity Media announced that the magazine would become a publicly available, expanded print magazine.
