You said the NYT was fiction. That is not true. The NYT is biased, but their reporting is factual and typically presents both sides. Unfortunately, many of the right wing outlets are not factual. There is a big difference between being biased and being fiction.
We must be talking about different NYTs IF it’s not unbiased reporting it’s fiction. IMHO.
In Oxford’s opinion fiction is invention or fabrication as opposed to fact. The NYT relies on facts, not fiction. Trump relies on invention and fabrication. Much of the right wing media amplifies Trump’s fiction.
Yeah, but biased toward good, not evil.
Yes. Trumpanzees can’t comprehend how terrible Dear Leader is, so they pretend the problem is the NYT reporting... not *what* the NYT is reporting.
You’re not objective.
Yes, that’s among the most common excuses offered to justify journalistic bias. One can expect the same from Breitbart.
No, there is a fundamental difference between opinion and fact, and not all media outlets are equally committed to segregating the two.
^^^ BTW, in another thread we were discussing the left’s propensity for ad hominem over rational debate. Yet another example.
I think the same suggestion could be made of you. The only case you have made is that legacy media has taken sides, and your side is better than my side. Given what you argue, you don’t seem to realize that partisanship has blurred the relationship between news and opinion, and they both are trying to sell their view. So here you are trying to change mine.I know. It may be hard to break away from your daily dose of Fox"News", Breitbart, Rush Limbaugh, and such. But PLEASE, you owe it to yourself and to your country to somehow begin to sober up and consume some actual, fact based, in-depth reporting by some of the finest news reporters in the country. You can take it slowly to start as I believe these sites allow a certain number of visits before you hit their pay wall. But if you pay attention and actually read-- real close-- and absorb the information presented on those sites there's a decent chance that you'll start to snap out of the "alternate fact" based universe of right wing conservative media!
It won't be easy as it's never easy to break away from any kind of cult but rest assured it you can just hang in there long enough you'll begin to see the world in a completely different light! A bright white light of FACTS free of the kind of gutter, low-ball, conspiracy theory, utter nonsense being pumped out that you're used to.
Trust me, it will be money well spent.
Thank you in advance!!
I know you watch OAN and NewsMax too. And read Breitbart and Project Veritas.Sure,
If you start now with a selective breeding program and specialized education, after several generations of the right combinations of nature and nurture you might be able to produce an unbiased human being, but don't expect one to happen naturally.
That is ridiculous. No one is saying journalists can’t have or don’t have political opinions. Of course they do.
You can ask for unbiased reporting of facts but nobody could give you an unbiased assessment of facts. Keep your opinions out of your assessment? Yes, that's asking too much.
Don’t understand what an ad hom is, huh?
Just pointing out the wealth of right wing nuttiness for you to choose from.You don't know squat!
And yet fiction DOES contain elements of fact. And facts can be bent to create false narratives.
On the contrary, I'm subject to it quite often.
