Most or all of this drama, humiliation, wasted taxpayer money could be spared -
with even modest attempt at presenting balanced facts from the start.

Re: Credible News Sources
Here's how you can tell if a post is BTing in this thread: is the post talking about credible news sources, and how you can identify them?

Is it biblical? Is it Christlike? Is it loving? Is it true? How can I find out?

Re: Credible News Sources
I really don't have favourites I survey the news stories, get updates from the various canonical colleges and then make up my own mind.Signtist wrote:A positive spin on T1's thread. What are your favourite news sources? (Yes I just spelled it that way. Don't care if spell check thinks it's wrong!) Which are most likely to present unbiased news? 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.
FWIW, in a perfect world a bias-free news source would be possible. Alas, this is a broken world in need of Jesus and any news source will reflect the leanings of editorial perceptions.

Re: Credible News Sources
The bottom three have had their own level of discreditation through this election cycle. Each were found to be distorting facts and manipulating information to guide their "facts."Bootstrap wrote:These sites are really helpful for assessing what the standard news sites report:

So even the fact checkers are biased.

Try hard not to offend. Try harder not to be offended.
Just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean they are not after you.
I think I am funnier than I really am.
