Chinahand Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Stinky, your question shows a fundamental misunderstanding of Daoism. It is simply not possible to even exist let alone report something as complex as "news" without being influenced by Daos. There is no such thing as an unbiased news source. They all have their own biases and Daos. A more sensible question might be which is the most consistent news source, acknowledging it will always be subject to a bias/its own particular dao.

P.K. Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Year on year Auntie Beeb is the most trusted media outlet on the planet. Of course, all those somewhere to the right of Atilla the Hun always claim it has a left wing bias. However NO complaint has ever been upheld in that regard. Funny that.... Unfortunately newspapers, that should be providing coverage, depth, opinion and so forth are these days doing little to build on broadcast media's snippets and soundbites. Well, that's how it appears to me anyway. Even The Independent ended up towing the owner's line during the last election. Talking of bias the Brexit campaign threw up an illuminating insight into the thinking of newspaper owners: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilp Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Beeb, RT, National Secular Society, Fox, Vice, Jihad Watch, France24, Al Jazeera, Guardian, Telegraph, Memritv. And others in between. They're all biased one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinahand Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Why isn't there one that's just straight down the middle?Because what is news is subjective. Who is interviewed,?the questions that are asked, the counterpoint and analysis of what is being said all require a point of view. Journalists and anthropologists quickly realise they aren't disembodied observers but consciously involved in forming the story the dao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
