Compared that to Associated Press which dedicates an entire section to eliminating bias and Reuters, which includes eliminating bias as two core tenets of their organization.

See, this quote from NYT unnerves me:
Quote:
Thus The Times and members of its news department and editorial page staff share an interest in avoiding conflicts of interest or an appearance of a conflict.
It's a common thread throughout their ethics statements. It's not about process to eliminate bias, it's fundamentally about firing people that create conflicts with their interests. Compare that to Reuters:
Quote:
Thomson Reuters is dedicated to upholding the Trust Principles and to preserving its independence, integrity, and freedom from bias in the gathering and dissemination of information and news.
Literally "freedom from bias." That should be the goal of every media organization out there.

Tenets. Sigh.

Why should I, Skippy? All you bring to the party is some lame Galloping GIsh arguments followed by some old worn out and threadbare crap from St. Ronnie's children of the corn.

I'll bet you gamer boys are the shizznit over at TBD or wherever you and your friend came from. What's your handle over there? I'd love to entertain myself for a minute, gamer.

Because forums are literally places for discussion?

All of your posts here so far show that you have no interest in discussion at all, rather in pushing the same tired, old, conservative bullshit, most of which has been debunked long ago.

I don't think the leftists here are used to people who don't back down to bullies. If one can't make a cohesive argument on a political forum, they have no real place there. Ad-hominem doesn't cut it.
