news doesn't have to be inaccurate to be biased. sometimes the way facts are presented, ordered, use of pejorative language, etc., is the bias, even in a factual article.
Yes, and it gets pretty subjective. But why don't you try to show me some examples that are clear ERRORS as presented, ordered, with pejorative language, and we'll see.
Every time I've seen any attempt made to do, it's been nothing but disagreeing with the opinions - not any error.
So a piece on a liberal show that accurately makes a point is 'biased' for its position.
If a liberal show reports, 'poverty increased 10% this year', that's a biased fact.
Why? Because poverty is a 'liberal issue', this is an attack on the polices leading to a problem implying they're not anti-poverty enough, and so on.
To be fair, attacks on the right-wing media have to sort through this difference - between attacks based on different opinions and attacks on propaganda, misleading etc.
These right-wing outlets aren't 'filled with lies' where you can turn them on and point out error after error after error. The 'bias' is more subtle.
However, there's a larger context of corruption - an ideology they sell that is for the interests of the wealthy that people have to follow and support right or wrong.
That gets into a debate between the right-wing and left-wing - who is correct?
But the right-wing media's omissions and distortions IMO are clearer - there's a reason mediamatters.org was created, why watchdogs find a lot more wrongs on the right.
Let's see your evidence that the liberal shows are doing anything other than telling the truth, other than the people who disagree with them politically disagreeing.
By your definitions, if a Republican leader acts like a 'heartless bastard' wanting to shift a large sum out of Medicare into tax cuts for the rich, then saying so is not accurate.
Reporting the facts of the plan is good journalism; saying the person advocating the plan is a heartless bastard is good punditry. Nothing wrong with either.
I wish that were a hypothetical, but that was the Ryan budget proposal. Attacking it for what it is isn't bad journalism.
Calling the Republican lies lies about it isn't bad journalism. You need to learn the difference between accurate criticism and bias.
You apparently want a journalism where the Holocaust could be reported factually, but no negative words implying it was wrong could be used, or that's 'liberal bias'.
If reporting on the Republican plan to shift massive amounts from Medicare to the rich that points out it's bad for the people is 'bias', then we disagree about journalism.
I'm not saying that the pure news stories should be editorials, but that's not the standard for these shows we're talking about.
The question is whether these shows are inaccurate even using your definition that includes all the 'order' and 'pejorative' and such.
Calling Cantor a 'heartless bastard' is a defensible pejorative. Calling him a 'sexual predator' would be an inaccurate pejorative.
Similarly, there are a lot of opinions I'd disagree with in right-wing media that are legitimate; it's when they go further that's a problem.
These issues are not easy to discuss, but you should have some evidence for your attack if you make it.
