The title of your post is an oxymoron. It does not exist. You used to be able to pick up a paper, turn on a news channel and get a somewhat true view of things. Not any more. And it is getting worse all the time. If you hear the same story on ABC, NBC, CNN or CBS and then go see it on FOX you would swear it was two completely different stories. Same thing if you read it in the Washington Post or the NY Times and then read it in the Washington Times. Completely different slant on the same story. The Wall Street Journal is not to bad, but even they slant things a little.
It has become so bad that I don't read a newspaper any more. Publishers buy papers to push their agenda. Any one who believes their personal choice of a paper is "oh so correct" is an idiot. Example, just how much do you believe your Daily Sun is telling all that goes on in the Villages? Or do you think just maybe they slant things in favor of their agenda?
Now several of you will say "my paper the XXXXX" is right on all the issues. And again if they really believe that, I feel very sorry for them. Because they are getting a slanted view of things and will never learn or grow in their opinions. You see it on here all the time with peoples political views. They only look at their side of an issue and never will even listen to the other side. These are the new MCJ's of the world. (Media Created Jerks)
This year will be the downfall of the media as the reporting has become so biased that a majority of Americans no longer believe them.
