Most people/organizations that are pro-narrative are anti-truth by definition.
So FOX, Newsmax, and OANN by definition.
lol, wtf does that even do? Just make the con bubble space safer for the snowflakes? Whatever happened to "walking away" and boycotting twitter altogether?
cons:
"we don't censor"
it's parental control filter for adults omg
Those as well as your favorite lefty institutions as well: CNN, MSNBC and the NYT.
So bottom line -- nearly every media outlet has a bias. The question is 'how extreme?" The more extreme, the less truth.
But of course anyone with a single neuron still firing has no trouble figuring it out on their own.New Twitter App Blocks Over 800 New York Times Journos In "Fight Against Disinformation"
A new Twitter app encourages people to 'fight disinformation' by blocking over 800 New York Times reporters.
"It's time to block," reads an introductory tweet from @blocknyt (www.blocknyt.com). "Twitter users have begun mass-blocking New York Times-linked accounts to control the flood of corporate disinformation online."
"For a limited time, block 800 NYT reporters for the low price of $0," the tweet continues.
When one visits the blocknyt.com website, created five weeks ago, they're greeted with several mock articles detailing the Times' failings.
"The New York Times Company now faces an economic and reputational reckoning. Employees are revolting, traffic is plummeting, colleagues are scathing, and readers are blocking," reads one teaser.
"Cade Metz and Pui-Wing Tam, senior employees of the New York Times Company, set out to intentionally reveal the identity of a private citizen against his will. An outcry ensued, and the paper backed down, but the damage was done," reads another.
Once authorized, the app automatically blocks the journalists - and then tells you that you can uninstall it.
Some Twitter users thought it was such a great idea, they want one for other mainstream media journalists.
Caveat emptor: We have no idea who's behind the app, nor what they do with the permissions given upon installation.
Some News outlets clearly are biased toward truth. And that's a wonderful bias to have. And thank god for those professional organizations that still exist.
They are limited in number... and Reuters and AP are near the top of that list.
The real problem with new media these days is that nearly every outlet has a bias. You should understand the bias when reviewing their coverage -- focus on the actual facts in the story rather than the "opinion".
Everyone human has biases. Media outlets are run by humans.
Biases, in and of themselves aren't the problem. False statements are the problem.
Biases ought only affect opinion pieces.
An extreme right media outlet can have the opposite opinion of an extreme left outlet, but their facts should be the same. Their interpretations should be the only difference.
The current problems are with outlets that knowingly spread falsehoods as facts.
This used to be a violation.

Guess which side doesn't want a revival of this doctrine?
The doctrine is uselss. What facts are there in politics. Left say this tax plan will produce 500,000 jobs, Right says the tax plan will cripple the economy. There are no facts, just opinions and biases.
FOX even defended itself as entertainment in its lawsuit.
