Most people DON'T read past the catchy part. This is intentionally misleading.

In which case BOTH sides of the spectrum, and even centrist, can't get away from that. You can't have a headline that runs on for two sentences. They are usually about 5 or 6 words, and need to convey the topic. And the words chosen in those headlines often betray the bias of the writer, even if the story is accurate otherwise.

There is also selection bias about which stories to include. Despite their somewhat boastful proclamation "all the news that is fit to print", no one can print everything. All parts of the spectrum have to make those choices, also.

I should probably just pull the trigger and get Ground News. They measure all that, in addition to providing news, so you know the biases and blindspots of the content you are consuming. Maybe after we get back from our next trip. I won't pick on you specifically, but I think a lot of right-wing folks could benefit from that sort of presentation of the news. I probably could, also, given that I easily could have "blindspots". Anyone could. One reason I read this board is to reduce the blindspots.
