    Depends on who is doing the writing some days the Right leaning Journalists rue the day. Like Kimberly Strassel, Barone, Beck, Copeland, Cohen, Cole. Shapiro etc etc.


    USA/Gannet-NBC owns the most Newspapers.


    The Chicago Tribune was Right leaning and always gave the NY Slimes the blues. Until a couple years ago when they were bought out by some leftists out of NY.

    The BBC is Left.


    BBC - Media Bias/Fact Check

    https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/bbc
    LEFT-CENTER BIAS These media sources have a slight to moderate liberal bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes) to favor liberal causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information, but may require further investigation.



    Wall Street Journal - Media Bias/Fact Check

    RIGHT-CENTER BIAS These media sources are slightly to moderately conservative in bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes) to favor conservative causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information, but may require further investigation.


    Both the AP and Reuters is Left Center Bias. Which when it comes to Elections they lean more to the left as to how and what they don't report on purpose.
    Why do you lie about things that are easily checked? Reuters and AP are rated least biased by your amateur media watch site.

    LEAST BIASED

    These sources have minimal bias and use very few loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes). The reporting is factual and usually sourced. These are the most credible media sources. See all Least Biases sources.
    • Overall, we rate Reuters Least Biased based on objective reporting and Very High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing of information with minimal bias.

    While mainstream media does have an urban, liberal and academic bias. It's simply because the news is produced by university educated urbanites by and large. I'd argue that it's opinion segments are left leaning, their reporting isn't overtly biased. But as I mentioned, as the right wing has moved so far right, the centre is perceived as far left. The proliferation of overtly biased right wing media has only furthered that perception.

    ...and again, it's hard to take the accusations of bias (and how harmful it is) seriously, when the right has wholeheartedly and unabashedly embraced right wing biased media.
    You wield the term "traditional journalism" as if it's some kind of talisman protecting you from manipulation. After Russiagate you should be wiser. So should del.

    Mainstream media has had that bias for a very long time. This bias was and is overt and obvious to those who, unlike you, do not share it. As for " far" right and left I don't think these terms describe anything that isn't essentially liberal in the original sense of the term. That is, there is little to nothing radical about politics in the US or Canada.

    I don't disagree but that's only because "news" is propaganda and necessarily so.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    Any source that commingles opinion with news tends to be left. There may be one or two or even three writers who do not but most do. Perhaps they are attempting to reform themselves.

    No matter.

    I am delighted we are seeing an increase in Conservative voices.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    Minimal Bias should be a clue even for your damaged brain to figure out. Of course the NY Sun, and Moses Yale Beech puts that reality check on things.

    So save the bull$#@! about Lying Dip$#@!.


    Oh and btw Reuters is owned by Woodbridge.

    For an American interested in well reasoned opinions I would begin with Mark Levin. If you want even more consider Blaze TV. You can see shows covering a wide variety of topics from a stated Conservative position.
    Some of the shows are horrible. A few are very good.

    I do not mind to partisan news sources. I do mind that they pretend to be objective.

    I agree that people should use multiple sources. There's a danger in only consuming news from one source or one perspective.

    However, if you're interested in facts, wouldn't it be wise to choose centrist sources rather than overtly biased ones? Between Reuters and say Redstate, which do you think contains more bias?
