> I made accounts on APnews and Reuters, and it seems that the signal to noise ratio skyrocketed.

That's surprising since the AP and Reuters are a major news source for wsj and nytimes. Not only that, the AP sets the style, values and agenda for the nytimes and the rest of the news media in the country while reuters does it for the news media of britain and the british colonies.

That’s not the impression i notice, so far, with respect to agenda biases but it’s clear that the overtly biased sites do pick up and seemingly bias content from apnews and reuters.

It would be interesting (in this experiment) to find two articles if different bias both based on a single feed from apnews or reuters.

Why do you say anyone other than backers of NYTimes or their editors sets their agenda?
