[Urist McScoopbeard]

to watch any one news source is to find an unreliable source, to actually get the information you really need you'll have to check a couple of sources and see what remains the same!

Or be there and interrogate the witnesses.

Witnesses are highly unreliable; especially under interrogation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyewitness_testimony#Reliability

[Frumple]

... while true, they're still more reliable than third parties, who only get their information from witnesses (anyone who's played a quick game of "telephone" in school or whatev' knows how that goes). Barring direct audio/visual recording of the event, they're going to be your best bet insofar as reliability goes.

Naturally, though, you want several, preferably ones who haven't been in contact (even secondary/tertiary/etc., of possible) with each other.

Goddamn Liberals.

[My Name is Immaterial]

Goddamn Euro Liberals Bible-burning faggots.

FIFY

[Owlbread]

Liberals ruddy-well get on my wick.

[My Name is Immaterial]

Go home, Owlbread. You're drunk.

[Owlbread]

I'm sorry, I should lay off the Speysides.

[My Name is Immaterial]

It's okay. You're only embarrassing yourself.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

To be fair, if I am recalling correctly Owlbread is a socialist anyway.

[Graknorke]

I wonder how many of the liberals will realize in 20 years that they have become arch conservatives. How will they live with themselves?

20 years is a very very conservative estimate. I would think 80 would be fair, given the actual movement of positions through time. Plus, views can evolve and it stands to reason there is a eventual point where the world stops going ever left, we actually hit upon the middle, and everyone can sort themselves where they feel like.

You know I have always wondered, what the heck is a socialist anyway?
Seems these days anybody that understands why we pay taxes is dirty socialist scum.


Anyway dosn't the US have some sort of unbiased publicly funded station? We have the ABC news and it is pretty unbias, sometimes accused of being left wing, but often I find that is because it is well researched.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

The US has NPR, but it is often accused of being liberally biased. Mind you, so is every other outlet that is not Fox.

And amongst the Tea Party, even Fox has been accused of liberal bias.

Or as the truly unbiased news reporters have said: Reality has a well-known liberal bias.

[GlyphGryph]

Actually, NPR's liberal bias comes almost solely from one daytime show which, having heard it, is not only biased to hell and back but crap on top of it. (Forget the name of the show and the presenter, but bleh, so terrible)

It is also a single one of their many programs, played during their non prime hours. The rest of it is almost always reliable and well researched, and actually quite conservative - not in the political sense so much as the "avoid controversy at all costs" sense, but it still manages to be quite good.
