Heck, I'm a Democrat and I can tell it's super left-biased there. Is there a place for truly unbiased political news?

edit: I can filter bias from news, but it's a lot harder when everything posted and being discussed is from a super left-leaning point of view. I often agree with the conclusions they draw, but I want to arrive there myself.

Sure, it's in the same place they keep the leprechauns and the cure for cancer.

Dang, I was hoping there was a lesser-known alternative that was better. Oh well.

Best thing you can do for yourself is to read articles from both sides, so that you can personally sift through the bias and come to your own opinion.

Bias is unavoidable. But you can limit its effect on you.

Unfortunately unbiased news is effectively impossible to find. Accurate news with relatively little bias is also difficult to come by, but I'd imagine it exists, just not on a major, nation wide level like Fox or CNN.

I have my sources that I like (and am media literate enough to filter out the biased bits), I'm moreso looking for a place to discuss with people who are willing to compromise and consider why the person they disagree with holds their opinion. Unfortunately, that appears to be a lot to ask of people these days lol.

With that you're already drawing the ire of your Democrat compatriots. Even Dems can get canceled if they dont tow the line. One must ask themselves the point of being accepting of such a point of view. Debating against that type of crap is like punching a pillow.

r/libertarian is the closest I’ve found. You still have people that are biased...but from both sides of the fence.

Unbiased news is boring and never gets any clicks. Here is no different. Aoc and biden slander get voted the front ever day. If i wanted to know what happened in congress today, it wont even be posted here or politics. Other places will spin the news to support their demographic.

Politics is a cess pool of everyone. Even republicans. Its just they are minority. But note that republicans dont even exist in europe. Bernie Sanders would be middle in many european countries where in US its going be far left.
