News used to be just the news! Now it’s more who can sway opinion more. Going back more than a few hrs. major news stations would always identify “editorial views” vs straight news. Now everything is opinion! SAD!

Yes it is just you.

Biased to the left
 

News media have become very biased regardless of its form. The MSM is truly FAKE news.

Are you referring to MSN news? If so, mediaBiasFactCheck says that MSN has a slight to moderate liberal bias. I would hardly call it "Fake" news.

For the record, they also say that FOX news is moderately to strongly biased toward conservative causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage conservative causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy.

I find FOX news to be pretty accurate. Somehow I think I am going to be slammed...…

I listen to NPR and the BBC. I read Reuter’s and AP news. I think all 4 are trusted news sources.

A 1949 Law requiring the "news" to present both sides of every issue was overturned by a Justice Department ruling in1987 - instigated by Dick Cheney's desire to allow his friends to present "Partisan News" and that is what we have today. NPR presents both sides but most of the presentations are meant to engage and "convince" the viewer. Sorry.

If you never watch the news again you can be informed by reading Foreign Affairs, the magazine. It "breaks down" the news and comes out every two months.

Amazon's Washington Post portrayed Al Bagdaddi, the ISIS leader killed as Jesus Christ himself... Shame on that newspaper and its American and Christian hatred.

So sad. They probably never even opened a Bible.

Most "online news" is a victim of 24/7 innovations- news has drifted towards "news+entertainment".All the TV "opinion" shows are not news- they are just [biased] opinions. I still trust most reputable print sources- but even there, the consumer must be discerning in what (and who) to believe. Fast breaking stories usually change as more facts are learned. Unfortunately for democracy, there is less "trust" in all institutions. This leads to "I'll only trust certain ideologies, politicians, etc". This leads to a weakening of democratic values- it's how democracies evolve to autocracies. A good book on this is "How Democracies Die". Finally, if you can't be bothered to read, do 'critical thinking', or vote- then you'll get the leaders you deserve. It's too easy to blame politicians when the problem is low information voters

I read that. They claimed he was a religious scholar and a terrorist. I no where saw anything comparing him to Jesus Christ.

Washington Post's headline called Baghdadi an "austere religious scholar at the helm of Islamic State". Before it was retracted.

People just say stuff to rile. Factual info has no place. Like I was recently called "human scum", and you sort of just understand the source and what our country has become.

If anyone cares, the big deal is simply that he was referred to as a "religious scholar" and that set off h extremists. Post has since, but it never matters to those folks, apologized an said it was bad judgment using such headline.

Certainly not appropriate and out of line, but, as always, a vicious meanspirited response.

There are some who spend much of their day looking for conspiracy theories or something to hate

News
 

News may or may not be real depending on its source. Some television personalities are not journalists, just entertainers, especially on cable channels. PBS has always been known as a nonpartisan source of real news. I am also confident in the major network news, ABC, CBS, and NBC.
