    Please, give an example of an unbiased news org. They don’t exist. This one just wears its bias on its sleeve.

    Edit: putting this here so people will stop going off.

    I was trying to respond to this nutcase’s response. I’m saying that bias is fine. But at least this one says what it’s for.

    .lgbtqnation just the best news site nobody could ever think they could be biased in any way.

    But I guess Lemmy fucked it. So sure, down vote.

      And what do you think the truth here is? Do you think that the Regina Leader-Post, the local newspaper they got the information from also wears its bias on its sleeve? How about the foundation whose public apology they printed? Is that fake news?

          Oops, that sucks. I removed my downvote and upvoted for what it’s worth.

      AP news, agrigated articles are difficult to all fudge in the same direction. Is there bias in seperate articles? To some degree it’s going to happen, does every single article have heavy bias in exactly one direction? Nope.

      BBC, Reuters, NPR, and a few other services generally avoid heavy bias by using similar methods of agrigated content from multiple contributers that aren’t all working in a single location, for one entity, with the same editor, working for the same owners. There’s much less bias found across their platforms, and what’s there in terms of bias isn’t all to one particular US political party.

        I don’t know what you are arguing. You can have a bias towards reality. Some have a bias towards centrism, even when one side has lost its mind. My original comment was to an idiot claiming that lgbtq wasn’t news because it has a bias.

        My point was that everything has a bias in some way, even a bias towards truth or whatever. It’s still a bias. Lgbtq nation simply tells you what the bias is explicitly. Which is good. I’d rather they be upfront so I can find news not filled with right wing anti gay screed.

          I wasn’t arguing. I just took your question about where less biased news could be found seriously, and tried to explain why I thought so on the sources I mentioned.
