  • Nothing's true. But it makes a fair point, that you can't belive anything you read and need to sieve the fake news from the real.
    I try to read 'news and opinion' from a multitude of sources, from different countries, to try to get a full sense. Even then, places that should be factual are still biased.

  • Not all places that should be factual are biased - I'd argue that as the BBC manage to piss off both sides they're probably right and news agencies rely on being seen as factual and trustworthy - we'd lose clients if we weren't.

    It's very good to read news from a multitude of sources but bear in mind that the article you linked to was submitted by a reader, so is effectively user generated content. I.e. the internet equivalent of Barry speaking his branes down the pub.

  • Agreed. I wasn't posting it for it's journalistic content, but more the point it raised; which I felt was valid.
    It was a bit much, but the main point, that we do generally have a right wing bias media is fair. We all saw yesterdays Daily Mail!
