Comment on Why the Public Can't Read the Pressparent

Comments

It is not really terrible once you think about it. There will always be some bias that exists, the key is to minimize it. Nearly all media today is "biased" against fascism, for example. It was a legitimate political philosophy, but the public doesn't really believe in it anymore. Should we give equal coverage to fascism to be unbiased? How about monarchy? Or feudalism?

The "liberal bias" you talk about often manifests as "let's care for the poor". Believe it or not, most humans think that way. Should we give equal air time to psychopaths, just to be fair?

No, the "liberal bias" is believing that the other side is psychopaths and doesn't want to care for the poor.
