There's only a handful that try to be unbiased. Washington Times and CNN come to mind.

Left biased or truthful?

There is spin on both sides, but look at the outlets that generally are accurate.

Huh? I was talking explicitly about media, nothing else.

What you talked about are campaign ads and the media will run the ads regardless of truthfulness or even bias. It pays their bills and they're not going to turn good money away. It is the campaigns that determines what ads run where depending on the demographics they are attempting to target.

Washington Times, a conservative publication, is unbiased?

FordGT90Concept · 11-04-2012, 02:57 AM

It's owned by a religious-backed entity so, probably not entirely unbiased.

didnt you get the memo faux news is "fair and balanced" :P

FordGT90Concept · 11-12-2012, 04:32 AM

More "fair and balanced" than MSNBC...but that's not saying much.
