I don't know if perhaps we are better off declaring bankruptcy and taking a worse-is-better approach here and not even having the pretence of unbiased media, because maybe it's not possible.

In the UK newspapers basically publicly declare their bias and everyone knows so you make sure you read a left-biased paper as well as a right-biased one.

I don't know if the wire services manage to be completely unbiased?

It's a start. My rub isn't news or editorial per se, but how they are not the same thing. Yet are so often not at all differentiated.

What some thinks (editorial) is not the same as facts, based on investigation.
