They’ ve been living in new york or Washington so long, it’s group think and the group you follow depends on your party. We need more channels outside of New York and DC.
And the great ny times and washington post are biased. I prefer the wall st journal... also has some implicit bias but a bit less.

Interesting....actually, I find the Times and Post, which I have been reading daily for many years, to be a bit "boring" due to its total objectivity....not exciting reading but exact in its detail and facts.
But, my reading does not stop there because people are human being and personal likes and dislikes can leak through, however,
To me, overt bias is obvious because if the media is reporting a story, enmasse, then there is a story and I trust the Times and Post to sort out the details.
Just an opinion ,and in this case shown to be accurate over and over.
Years ago, in working within this world, I became aware of the stringent policies that exist with editors to even get a new story printed.
Again, I speak of NEWS, not as was discussed on earlier posts, opinion folks talking loud and playing with truth and facts. I think they are an insult to all of us.
