A publicly funded media arm having an ideological bias is scary.
Isn’t bias simply a matter of perspective? Isn’t it simply relative to one’s own bias? A consequence of how one measures it?
>Isn’t bias simply a matter of perspective?
No, there are objective studies of bias.
>Isn’t it simply relative to one’s own bias?
No, there are left, center, and right sides of the political spectrum.
>A consequence of how one measures it?
No. You can objectively measure these things regardless of where you personally lie on the political spectrum.
