    3. As long as you know the media is bias, I don't think there's an issue. Everyone has a bias in them even if they try and understand all points, so the media is no different. If you know there is a bias, then you can go to other media outlets and see their point of view before making a decision.

    Of course, I tend not to listen to the news, most of it is depressing.

    1. Probably Fox or WSJ. Breitbart if it counts, but I don't think it's news so much as opinion articles
    2. If Buzzfeed counts, Buzzfeed. If not, Huffington Post, probably.
    3. There's nothing wrong with it, I just want the readers to be aware of its bias.

    I pick BreitBart and Huffington Post as well. That said, I rarely check out Fox.
    Personally I love media bias. It is just so fun and entertaining. Articles in those sites just feel more 'human'

    The mainstream media is an enemy of the people and must be dismantled.

    1. Fox News for sure
    2. MSNBC

    I'm very liberal and don't watch MSNBC but my mom does and while it is clearly left leaning it's not too bad of a channel.

    Now Fox News on the other hand is a shit show. Every time I watch it it seems like they fuel hatred and spread fear.
