RE: Is Unbiased Journalism Still Possible?
That is an excellent question. Keep asking them questions! :)
Another question I am asking myself is would I willingly accept some bias if the info that is poured upon us is more useful? Because it all feels not only heavily biased but following a strict agenda, approved by a handful of those in power.
Six-seven years ago I decided I am not paying anymore for cable/satellite TV. In Bulgaria, where I currently live, there are 6 channels that are transmitted for free, three state-owned and three private channels, a small antenna and a digital decoder are enough (and all modern TV sets have that decoder already). I feel the channel owners have to pay me to watch the tons of BS and advertisements instead :)
Me, I do not watch TV since several years. (some exceptions when I was guest of some friends).
A few weeks ago, I had to stay in a hotel and was curious to watch the evening news. Horrible. Not the contents (that in some regards too) but the presentation: fragments of fragments.... One could say: those who watch regularly or who watch the feature broadcasts are pre-informed and can deal with such fragments as if they were some updates. But this would only be a very small part of the truth about news telling.
Not watching the news keeps the doctor away, in a bit, hehe ;)
I am very close to this as well, but still, sometimes there is 1% useful information, they announce bigger law changes, for instance the latest here is that the toll cameras now track average speed on some major roads.
The authorities said during the first two hours more than 1500 fines have been issued...
I agree with you, the truth of those news always has an angle ;)
Have a great afternoon! :)
