bias is actually difficult to identify, because everything you read, or anyone anything says, will be slanted by your own opinion.
-
truth is not as slippery, but along with facts are very difficult to identify, because rarely are any of us close enough to know any of the facts. Knowing all of the facts (the truth) is practically impossible.
I'd say knowing all the facts immediately is practically impossible, its why monthly & weekly news publications are usually far more accurate than rolling news. There's also an element to get the full facts requires more depth, you can't tweet the full story, but most people want their news as a headline, not 10 page article.

Valid news sources....allblacks.com reporting on try scorers and final score in the big match.
Invalid news sources.....pretty much everything else....political opinion/fact.....e.g. the shitstorm BS official line that came out of the USA govt after Osama Bin Laden was taken out. Pretty much everything that comes out from governments on anything has a not insignificant amount of spin/topspin on it.
Tell the masses what you think they will believe or what you think you will get away with.

Wikileaks' material is gold because it is an original source without a slant being placed on it by some journalist.

I fucking hate Allblacks.com
I mean look at this -
http://www.allblacks.com/Fixtures/EventDetails/4213
thats the page for ABs v Aus August this year. It shows a stack of pre game articles, but is there a quick link there to the teams with who played, who subbed on, any basic stats, the match report?
Nothing. Nothing at all. Its the official fucking AB site but if I wanted to see the team & who subbed on when, who made most tackles there is fucking nothing on the main game page.
You want anything on the actual game you have to go to stats home - series - click on the game. WhyTF is that link not on the match page?
That site is a fucking abortion. And not even a good abortion, a backstreet 20 weeks-in mexican doctor with a kettle he uses to both make tea & sterilise the coathanger abortion.
Its probably all there in an easy link I just havent seen but I'm on a roll

Nice rant
I only go there occasionally to view try highlights for test matches and see the "in the sheds" chatter after the match, sad I know.
If you tried to follow any of the links to partake in the ballot for lions tickets it was impossible for me.

"debate" III today. Trump will have a probably friendly moderator from fox news. Sounds like he's going to tread the same path as last time and double down on the circus acts, apparently Obama's half brother will be in attendance because he supports Trump. If DonDon doesn't use the situation to focus on policy it will be an opportunity wasted

Bias vs agenda?
I see Madonna has offered BJs to males that vote for Hilary....

@taniwharugby I think she's still quite popular with the male Hispanic community

@Duluth I would imagine he should get a slightly sympathetic reception from a guy that works for a right leaning news network. Perhaps his first question won't concern his treatment of women
Why should his first question be about his treatment of women?
-
@Baron-Silas-Greenback It shouldn't, but IIRC that was the first question of the last debate (or the first one?)

I am struggling with what you are getting at. Not asking him about his treatment does or not not indicate a sympathetic moderator?

I'm confused. So the last moderator was unfair?
How does that make Chris Wallace friendly?

Sorry. Gold when liberals used it for their agenda against Bush and co., but a terribly biased Russian inspired source when used against liberals.
