Sunday

I’ve seen 60 minutes not appear to be unbiased the last 5 years. NPR had all democratic editors. Fox is barely news but I have a hard time even commenting since I don’t watch it. BBC is even caught up in it. Until the news can get to a point where news is facts and not manipulated by either side, we will have bias.
