    Nearly every respectable major news outlet that has commentary tries to invite commentary from multiple sides.

    Maybe that’s part of the issue though?

    If Jimmy Allred says it’s raining, and W. Lee O’Daniel says it isn’t raining, Texas newspapermen quote them both, and don’t look out the window to see which is lying, and to tell the readers what the truth is at the moment.

      I’m really torn on that. Because I want media to be unbiased, but I also want media to tell the truth.

      Most media will simply report the truth of what other people say is the truth.

      I suppose I’d opt for unbias over bias if those were the two options.
