[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4748490, member: 63706"] I have a friend with TDS saying that he reads unbiased news, like AP. I had to suppress a laugh. AP is completely unhinged commie propaganda any time it comes to anything relatively political. The biggest issue, however, is that people can't distinguish between a legitimate news story, and an editorial. There are very few actual news stories published anymore. Most stories are opinion pieces in which the authors make claims and declarations of truth without actually backing them up, or attributing the claims to someone. When news organizations set editorial rules restricting how the reporters can present information, and all news organizations set the same rules, they can massively sway public opinion on major issues simply by repeating the same information across multiple news outlets, without ever having to present real evidence.
