I know there will continue to be some holdouts until execs realize they are selling a biased crap product, but there may be some movement to fair journalism. I read a Newsweek article yesterday with a meter you could click to vote on the fairness of the article. Anyone else seeing something similar from others?

Elections are when people find out what politicians stand for, and politicians find out what people will fall for.

Most of them are so far gone they don't even know they are biased.

They occasionally throw out an ever so slightly critical of the left piece and quickly end it with, "but nowhere near as bad as the Rs" and they think that token gives them cover.

Look at the LA riot coverage and how often J6 is referenced.

No…see Terry Moran, that is just a cya in hopes they don't get sued.

They actively force the propaganda on the moldable masses. This has been the journalists method going back to the time of Walter Cronkite.

I think they would need to completely restaff and go hard obviously right to even be considered by most. Then again who would believe them. They have been screaming balanced for years, maybe decades. Nobody is buying it.

It's probably like the "close" button in an elevator. It does nothing but make you feel better.
No, I don't care what CNN or MSNBC said this time

That meter has been there for over a year and every article I've seen is listed as "fair/not biased".

It's only as good as the people reading the stories. If it's only liberals reading, and the story is biased against conservatives, of course they're going to rate it as fair

I did not know they've had that meter so long. Guess it's been awhile since I've read Newsweek. I find it interesting they want feedback, but you're probably right. Just lefties giving them a fair rating. I found the article to be more fair than what I've read in the past because there was only a slight jab at Trump unlike the usual attempt at a beat down.

This. No self-respecting critical thinker reads Newsweek.

You can't teach an old dogs new tricks just like a Leopard cannot change its spots.

American journalism has betrayed this country and its people and should never be trusted and unfortunately, is rarely held accountable.

They didn't learn anything. Today they are still openly biased and blaming the riots on Trump.

A couple nights ago CNN aired the George Clooney play about Edward R Murrow. Anderson Cooper hosted a round table afterwards with journalists and the general consensus was they are victims and under attack by Trump and co. No humility and no self awareness about the lies they trafficked in on Russian collusion, Hunter Biden, Bidens dementia etc.

Jake Tapper is releasing a tell all expose on Bidens cognitive health and cover up by the media ....including himself. And somehow has zero self awareness of this fact.

So no. They are still stupid r*tards, just more brazen than usual.

MSM news decided to follow the path of print newspapers, the town cryer, papyrus, and stone tablets. There is no going back.

People have moved on. Hell, I used to watch the local news for weather but it's better to use radar maps and storm2k or even TexAgs for more accurate weather without the woke.

There's going to be weather in your neck of the woods.

I had respect for Willard, he literally used to be a clown.

Al Roker walks around like he taught Dr Neil Frank all he knew about the weather and taught Al Gore about climate change… using his BS in Communications from noted meteorological school SUNY Oswego.

Dylan Dreyer actually has a meteorological degree but I have dug fence post holes with dirt smarter than her.

But I digress.

To answer the OP, not a freaking chance the MSM turns right, reading the WSJ now is no different than the NYT or CNN….total indoctrination in liberal ideals

Hyperbole. It's not close to those.

People will just vote on this as "I like or dislike this".

This is what I see. They've been swimming in an ocean of bias for so long that objectivity is rejected as fascism

The legacy media is DOA. With no hope of revival. Throw dirt on them and get on with enjoying life,

They always throw out an occasional morsel of being somewhat balanced just so they can say they did it. But they won't fundamentally change until they can no longer exist in their current format. They see themselves as change agents. They have no interest in actually reporting honestly. It's about manipulation to their point of view.
