None of them identify themselves as 'biased' afaik. They claim a particular 'perspective'. That's a much more neutral word, and they use it (or various synonyms) to give themselves credibility.

As you know, Fox calls itself 'fair and balanced'. If Fox (or MSNBC) changed their named from Fox News to Fox Propaganda Report with the tagline 'unfair and biased' then I'll accept that they are being open about their bias.

Jesus man. I think you put too much cynicism on your cereal this morning.

I can't find the clip, but I know just in the last two weeks I saw Ben Shapiro on TV saying out loud "my podcast has a conservative bias"

No, there isn't a disclaimer at the beginning of every show saying "you might vote republican after this" but geez. If you find any news source that claims to be "right down the middle", get away from that news source. If you believe that such a news source exists...you're lost.

Just explaining how the world works, grasshopper.

Out of all the thousands of words he's ever spoken on that podcast, you think saying that once is giving due warning?

That's the problem - they all claim at various times to be telling the unvarnished truth - that's as 'down the middle' as it gets.

If you believe that such a news source exists...you're lost.

There's a whole spectrum of bias out there, and there's a whole continuum of how much facts are presented and how much spin.
