I don’t know if I should change the title to ‘does unbiased media exist?’

I just found out a Washington Post cartoonist quit after a Bezos satire she draw was rejected.

I was until today a reader of said newspaper, but after this kind of censorship I don’t know if I should keep reading it.

Note that I’m not looking for media sources that fabricate outrage either for the left or for the right or news sources whose business model is to editorialize titles to work people up. I’m just looking for unbiased media sources.

Maybe this was a stupid question: everyone is biased, or am I wrong?

    All are biased.

    If there’s an event occurring within the last few days I’ll check AP and a couple other moderate/right sources to check/compare spin.

    After a few days there’s usually a pod out on it from the left view. I like It Could Happen Here, Some More News, and Even More News. They’re incredibly well sourced, and are out in the open about their biases.

    Even when there’s no editorializing there’s selection bias. That selection is due to capacity or the political viewpoint of the reporting. You won’t see stories that are less relevant to reporter/editor interest.
