Please rate Reuters and Associated Press

I'd rate MSNBC and CNN as left leaning, and FOXNEWS as right leaning.
Of course other rate them differently.

How would you rate AP and Reuters?

Just pick the poll choice that most-closely reflects how you feel.
The poll is set up for you to select one choice for each news source.
IOW, vote twice.

How you voted is not visible to anyone.
Please do not read poll results or anyone's posts before voting; doing so might influence your vote.
That way the poll results will reflect our personal feelings.

I realize I'm wasting a wish, but I wish news sources were not political leaning.
It makes a society even more polarized then it already is.
People end up reading only what reinforces their bias.

But while a free press is precious, news sources are not altruistic.
They are for-profit businesses.
They have always known people generally fall into only one of two camps, and picking a side means selling more papers.

I wouldn't doubt if really smart businesses run two papers, one for the left and another for the right.

Thanks cfluitist.

I've seen that, but am more interested in what you all think.
I'll bet most people's personal opinions do not align with any official chart.

I wish the same. It is, of course, an impossible dream. There has always been and there will always be bias in news reporting. That is why it is best (IMO) to follow different sources and see if a balanced and accurate view of what is going on in the world can be reached. It is increasingly challenging to obtain an accurate unbiased view though. :/

Unlike CNN,MSNBC,ABC and CBS the anchors on FOX news admits that they are conservatives.
