I may be cynical but I think throughout history it’s been more the exception than the rule that people would expect accuracy and honesty from mass news outlets
Me too. That would be great. I only read print newspapers. While it's not truly unbiased by any means, it does allow me to absorb the news slower and think it through more.
It's seems fairly accurate as far as A.J. is bottom of the barrel right lizard people conspiracy theory bs. BBC does seem fairly center and near the top of credibility

"cheapfake"? good, now there's a catchphrase for it, so a % of the zombies can possibly understand the concept.
when Biden first got elected i watched a video "showing" Biden as a rampant "racist". in all cases, 15-20 brief clips, it was easy for a thinking person to see how it was taken out of context and proves nothing.
...not that i know if Biden's "racist" or not; but that video was obviously bullshit.
i said this in the comments and of course incurred great rath, like i'm defending racism.
dumbass mofos.
That ... seems to measure from fascist right to center right. There's nothing from anything you can actually call "left" on there. There is maybe the problem.
The Sinclair Network is where you see news anchors from a majority of their affiliates read a mission statement or news item they say is biased or false news... youtu.be...
That's part of problem is there really is no real left in America... Center or center right is what left is in this country. Europe has some countries that have a true and real left
