"I remember reading an article once (in a newspaper ironically) that said the news, in whatever format, is only what someone else deems important for you to know ... so there will always be bias"
Good point. |

"Yeah, it's called toilet paper. Read that for unbiased words.
The daily fail is hardly unbiased  "
I'm not on about the fail. I'm on about actual toilet paper. Cushelle, Andrex, anything with writing on it  |

"Sadly no. I gave up on newspapers years ago. I try not to limit myself to one news outlet to try and balance out what I hear."
Where did this obsession with media outlets being ‘unbiased’ come from? Especially when everyone seems to want an unbiased source that aligns with their own bias.
Read widely; ask questions; make your own mind up. |

The problem with creating an unbiased paper is that the individual would have to shift through all the dirt, lies and controversies, filter it all out, and still make a good enough headline for people to want to buy it and read it.
