I read the Denver Post and the Wall Street Journal every morning and post about subjects I find interesting. If you are unread and not up to date on the news, you might want to consider doing this too.
Do you consider the Denver Post biased? Or the WSJ?
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
Anyone who relies on media “fact” checkers should really consider the fact that these people all have biases.., they are no different than you and me. In fact, they use the same tactics used on this board.
If I post something potentially negative about Biden, the answer to my question almost always includes the name Donald Trump. I’ve seen that a lot and will find an example… BRB
This from Politifact that is fact checking whether or not the Biden’s have been making money from China in unethical or illegal ways. Remember, this is a fact check about the Biden family and should have nothing to do about Trump if they are truly just interested in facts.
Critics say that the Trump family’s financial entanglements are at least as problematic, if not more so, than the Biden’s’.
“Critics say”… first.of all, Trump’s critics are half of the country that may or may not have active brain cells. Does that really seem like a good source to trust?

So, why are we even having any discussion? Nobody can put aside their biases and be objective? Just because a registered democrat wrote an journalistic article, will you immediately dismiss it because you think they can't be impartial?
When we are having a discussion here, are you trying to change my mind, or is more of a gotcha thing? Are you really interested in talking about current issues, or do you just want to denigrate the other side - you know, to own the libs?
Slo Joe is adept at "Let me hold your coat, while you fight", as in Ukraine. But he outdid himself on Armenian Independence Day , when he said that the U.S. will support Armenia's sovereignty and security , while, in June, he waived the prohibition on arms shipments to Azerbaijan.
At one time newspapers were proud and partisan, sometimes they even had the party name on their front page, like the Park County Republican.
Now they pretend to be non-partisan but since most journalists are proud Democrats, you have to wonder which stories they are attracted to cover. Like the story about how a Democrat killed a young Republican because of his beliefs? Didn't see that one in the Left leaning Denver Post this morning so I wouldn't be able to provide an adequate source for K and she could deny it even happened.
