Can you recommend an UNbiased news source?

Thanks, but I have heard that the BBC is even more politically correct than our media.

In England, I hear, you are forbidden, for example, to voice any negative comments about immigration -- or else!

Perhaps we have a different viewpoint of what 'politically correct' is. I view political correctness as being non-discriminating or offensive. I certainly believe that any good journalist can, and should, report a story about immigration without showing personal bias. That's the earmark of good journalism isn't it, to be nonpartisan?

Yes, we do, indeed, interpret "political correctness" differently.


Have a nice day!

Thank you.

I will, but I have heard that it has a so-called liberal bent.

I do not want conservative/liberal interpretations of the news.

I want FACTS. Brutal facts. I am sick to my stomach by "news" sources that portray a "certain gentleman" as either an angel or a devil.


Have a nice day!

If you are basing your judgments on "I have heard that......", then you are obviously not interested in objectivity.
 
NPR and their various programs, although they do have a bizarre taste in music...

The people who regularly watch Fox News know that Hannity and Tucker are news analysts; not journalists.

And yes they are indeed Trump advocates but they do back up their reports with eyewitnesses and solid evidence.

Although; most of what the Fox "news analyst" staff reports is simply basic common sense observations, which flies in the face of the ridiculous "fake news" now flooding the market via print/electronic journalism.

The only reason Rupert Murdoch created Fox News in 1996 was to fill the void after years of one sided biased left-wing MSM news reporting.

ie; had the MSM News organizations been more "fair and balanced" in their journalistic duties; there wouldn't even have been a niche for the Fox News Channel to fill 22 years ago.

You might say; the Leftist-MSM created the monster that is now ravenously devouring them...Ironic?!

Actually Murdoch acquired several stations with the intent to create a sports network, and then ran into Roger Ailes. They came up with idea to go very lean on journalist staff, and instead rely on a technique of creating a storyline of the day, rounded up from other station's work. It became apparent that this structure gained more attention once it started fanning the flames of Us vs. Them, and pointing out how They were wrong. They are not really a news network at all, more a cacophonous roar that proves attractive to many. The segment of the public which needs a Pro Wrestling approach to covering the days events created the monster...not legitimate MSM from either the right or the left.

Like lots of other Americans, I am frustrated that I cannot find any American/foreign (English-language) news source that is 100% objective with no political agenda. I just want the facts without any bias.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Probably fact checkers and economists are the best you are going to get. Its best to go directly to the data, but remember that whoever produced the data can interpret it a certain way so be careful.

No one seeks out unbiased news.

Could you recommend an unbiased source of history for Hitler? Everything I read seemed kinda biased...

I am not saying Hitler = "certain gentleman" that you might be thinking of. I am making a point that "negative" news does not make it "biased" news. Perhaps "certain gentleman" deserves the coverage he gets...
