If not the above \u2014 and again no need to be honest with anyone other than self \u2014 do you instead tune into a majority of these:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- The Atlantic<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- CNN<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- MSNBC<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The New Yorker<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Or The New York Times<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Let me first acknowledge that there are some very gifted writers and journalists from each of the above. I\u2019ll admit, for example, that The Atlantic\u2019s<\/em> Caitlin Flanagan, FOX\u2019s <\/em>Dana Perino, National Review\u2019s<\/em> Yuval Levin and NYT\u2019s<\/em> David Brooks each typically and often both get and keep<\/em> my attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But let it be said if you watch solely from one of the above lists, you are succumbing to a limited perspective. Such was glaringly true in the last election cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let me not suggest that an always loyal landing on solely the Post<\/em> or the Times<\/em> or on CNN, MSNBC<\/em> or FOX<\/em> will provide you with inaccurate<\/em> news. Perhaps the slant is <\/em>accurate. Perhaps the slant is<\/em> credible. But the slant is also known to be biased \u2014 which actually makes it more difficult to discern if the perspective is accurate, credible or true. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s keep being honest… to be biased is to be limited; by definition, bias means we\u2019re actually \u201cunfairly prejudiced against someone or something\u201d\u2026 in other words, not ever something equated with virtue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All said, AllSides<\/em> released their updated Media Bias Ratings<\/em> this week. Their conclusions are based on multi-partisan, scientific analysis. Note that sometimes the bias of some sites changes. For example, in the substantiating blind bias survey, The Atlantic<\/em> moved from its previous rating of \u201clean left\u201d to the more \u201cleft.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
