The idea that a news source has to talk to "both sides of the issue" to be "balanced" is the only thing that's outdated.

Integrity actually means saying and acting on what you believe, since you brought it up.

No I am not twisting anything.  You constantly play the contrarian but what do YOU actually stand for?  No one here knows because you post crap just to post crap.  

The simple fact THAT A NEWS SOURCE should post nothing but facts with ZERO opinion seems outdated to you dismays me.  It makes me weep for the future.  I weep for my children, for my grandchildren and for their children, and yes even for you.  You are being manipulated and you don’t even realise it.   Sadly you have been educated to the point you can no longer question anything you are being fed.  They are pissing on you, telling you it is raining and you collect it so you can drink it in case of drought.

We are not talking about the difference between fact and opinion.  We are talking about bias.  As I already explained, even if a news source only ever publishes facts, there is still a subjective factor or bias when it comes to which stories and facts are "fit to print" or worth setting aside time for.  If that news source goes ahead and also publishes their opinion, they are doing you a favor because they are helping you understand why they selected the facts and stories they select.

What do I stand for? I think I've been pretty clear that I thought Trump's character was not nearly good enough to be President back in 2015.  In 2019 I said he abused his foreign relations power to try to oppress Democrats and that he should have been removed from office because it was exactly the type of thing Putin did to turn Russia into a one party state.  Then Marco Rubio told me it was too close to the election to have the Senate remove him, and the voters should decide if Trump should be removed or not, and I like Marco mostly, so I did as he said and voted Biden.  These are all stances I took.

I'm definitely not getting pissed on. I am prospering. I own my house outright and I could buy a few more similar homes with cash if I wanted to. I don't say that to brag, but only because you said I'm a victim somehow.
