Duchess routinely cites Wikipedia.
When she's in a particular rush...she Copies and Pastes.

If you live by the distortion... be prepared...

I think there is literally no possibility for something to be "unbiased" or objective because it's epistemology necessitates bias.

Indeed, this obsession with determining that which is "not biased" is baloney that actually hinders dialog by trying to grant to everyone some illusion of being objectively correct.

The BBC News is biased in favor of wars just like many news sources in the USA.
Democracy Now! is not a bad source of news. They have no pro-Israel bias and tend to be anti war. I suppose you could say they are biased in the opposite way as the BBC News and might be a good balance if you were to watch both.
I think this forum is a decent way to get diverse views on the news. Corrections are posted by others to keep things more honest overall. If I make a mistake, someone like Duchess will probably catch it and set it straight.
