I think if someone wants to make billions in the USA right now they ought to start a news agency where those writing/reporting get fired if someone can tell which way their bias runs. I think it would be wildly popular.
In Canada the CBC is notoriously liberal, Sun Media (which some claim is nothing more than a tabloid) can be surprisingly conservative editorially speaking. Macleans seems to be equal opportunity.
refreshing Signtist’s thread.
i do not know what to make of this:
April 2018 / Sinclair forced TV anchors to criticize “fake” news—and Trump loved it
https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/201 ... -stations/
you see, Sinclair owns the “local” “news” station near me (not Chicago or suburbs.)
i find it to be an extension of Chicago politics (not good) .. not at all reflective of local folks.
to the extent it can approach being comical.
it goes something like this.
they air reports. local viewers complain, disagree, etc. they ignore their viewers, continue on with the next unwanted, unappreciated report. repeat. repeat. year after year.
not unlike much that happens on this forum.
i’m not aware they aired this particular statement .. but, they might have. (i have my doubts.)
i do not view televised “news.” (i.e., i don’t believe my definition of news, matches theirs.)
there are several sources for this report. i guess it happened.
i wish i understood what it means. does it make a dfference? an improvement?
there is room for improvement.
