So, for example, on that website, I found this: A 2014 Pew Research Survey found that 41% of the Wall Street Journal’s audience is consistently or mostly liberal, 24% Mixed and 35% consistently or mostly conservative. This indicates that they are slightly preferred by a more liberal audience.

Liberals love it!

And there was this:In review, the NYT utilizes emotionally loaded language in their headlines such as “Trump Again Falsely Blames Democrats for His Separation Tactic” and “A Financier’s Profit-Minded Mission to Open a Channel Between Kushner and North Korea”, however, they use credible sources such as law.cornell.edu, Financial Times, and The Washington Post. Story selection is typically balanced, however, wording tends to lean left in most cases.


Like the old joke, "it's all in the delivery".


So, the WSJ gets rated as Right center bias and the NYT gets Left Center Bias, Which is like I said---the WSJ is no more nor less biased than its competitors----which is not the same as saying they are equally biased.

Both papers were judged to use "loaded words" to favor their causes.

So, pedantic one, I proved my original point, which you argued wasn't valid.

The question of whether or not it is smart to read biased material to know the other side of an argument is immaterial to the original discussion.. No, not immaterial at all. It's related to it, and it allows for further exploration of biased media to people whose minds are open.

Yours is not. This is why you don't wish to discuss it.

Because you think you're smarter than all the media, no matter the source.

And you've presented no facts here, but you have proved that you are indeed a real flaming asshole.

And the trouble with a real flaming asshole, such as yourself, is that no one can ever make a real flaming asshole feel like what he truly is.

Game. Set. Match.

Thanks for playing, loser.

The difference is the editorial page.

The Times is safely centrist with a sampling of opinion from slightly center left (45 yard line) to the right (30 yard line)

The WSJournal is right from the  35 yard line to the first row of the mezzanine.

These are approximates, of course and my opinion.

If both editorial pages play fast and loose with facts, as has been shown, they are similarly flawed.

No.

But have fun.

When the UN starts talking to your nation the way they talk to banana republics....


The United Nations human rights office on Friday called on U.S. security forces to limit their use of force against peaceful protesters and journalists, as clashes between federal agents and demonstrators continue in Portland, Ore.

“Peaceful demonstrations that have been taking place in cities in the U.S. such as Portland really must be able to continue without those participating in them and also the people reporting on them, the journalists, risking arbitrary arrest or detention, being subject to unnecessary disproportionate or discriminatory use of force or suffering other violations of their rights,” Liz Throssell, a spokeswoman for the U.N. human rights office, said at a news conference in Geneva, emphasizing that officers must be “properly and clearly identified.”

Trump:  Biden owes it to the nation, has an obligation to take cognitive test

Trump is clueless.

I think they should both take the SAT. It would be a riot.

Trump:  Biden owes it to the nation, has an obligation to take cognitive test

Yes, because that will stop the virus, solve skyrocketing unemployment, educate children, and stop this: https://www.npr.org/2020/07/24/894996949/concern-over-evictions-rise-as-covid-19-unemployment-benefits-expire

Well, no -

but if you want to know why Trump feels this way, watch/read the news or Google it.

Because Trump thinks the test he took was tough. (Hint: It wasn't.)

Vermont is imposing a mask mandate as of August 1st.

It's only a mandate if you have to wear it 100% of the time.

Do you ever tire of being wrong?

Not really mandating is the reason about 80% dont wear masks - including about 40% that are not social distancing.

It's not the most effective policy.

Unless the "it's overblown" faction is correct.  Then it doesnt matter as much.

Mandating is the most effective policy.

And the "it's overblown" faction has their heads up their asses.

Nu?

The purpose of a newspaper is to inform, entertain, and influence.

Mostly, no.

The purpose is to make money.

[Echo4]

If they really believe it, make it 100%

People don't need masks when they are asleep.

They don't need them when they are alone.

Mostly they don't need them while showering or eating.

100%?

You are 100% full of shit.
