    Really, you’ve never detected slant from Reuters or AP?

    I agree that cnn, fox, etc are outlets and not agencies but calling the agencies unbiased is also wrong.

      What would be considered slant?
      a guide would be good here for defining slant so everyone can go through a checklist and say, yeah that article or news agency’s articles are slanted

        Literally everyone has a bias. That is all I’m saying. People like to pretend that some groups keep things “objective” but that’s not really possible or desirable, what is possible is being biased but staying factual.

      I only recently learned that knowledge, so I’ve only started doing this - hence the “personally, I haven’t seen” comment. But I probably just haven’t read enough of their articles to get a feel for their slants if they have any.

      So far though, I will say, both AP and Reuters are a hell of a lot more neutral and matter-of-fact in presenting news than any news outlet in recent years.
