Does not equal nonbias which was my entire point. Glad you agree with me.
Even in my original post where I listed them I said "here's about the most unbiased you can get for media sites". I wasn't claiming that they were 100% nonbiased, something that's impossible. IN THE CONTEXT OF THIS THREAD they are nonbiased as hell compared to tigerdroppings.

No. It’s that they are biased. You understand you can slant both left and right, correct? A bias site can post bias stories from both left and right. Simply carrying content with multiple biases doesn’t make you non-bias.
I'm sorry, because this makes me come off arrogant and smarter than I think I am. But the word you wanted to use here was "biased". This is a huge pet peeve of mine.
But it's weird that you pointed out ABC and CBS as your problems, isn't it? Two of the ones that do lean a little left?

I haven’t mentioned msnbc or cnn once in this entire thread. You have multiple times and then argued against your own points you shove into people’s mouthes.
I don't care if you mentioned them or not? I'm trying to justify calling these sites nonbisaed when you asked me if I "SERIOUSLY think ABC and CBS are nonbiased?", so bringing up more egregious examples makes sense to contrast against them. I obviously didn't mention Fox as another example because calling Fox biased is pretty unpopular here. Stop obfuscating with this bullshite, dude.

At this point, you guys are arguing about whether there is a balance in the representation on this site/board, which there clearly is not.
No I’m not. I’m saying anyone of any leaning can post whatever they want here and it is allowed to be read and discussed and those posters are allowed to continue to post and comment.
Contrast that with a site like Reddit where their moderators actively police content and user base.

Sounds like assuming to me. Oops! I didn't say anything about people always insulting leftists in that post. It's just that you said if you ignore name callers you can have useful discussions, and you appeared to be a name caller.

ABC news is not unbiased at all. Just peruse their website headlines.
Hell, I linked an article yesterday were they they tried to paint Pence in a negative light when he ate a burger without a mask on.
WTF

yeah, you are.

I said the same thing and you told me we shouldn’t discuss things close to the Op in context we should only discuss exactly the OP.
So you can do that but no one else is allowed to?

Anyone is welcome to post any opinion here. You're not banned or cencored for your opinions. It's not our fault little melty snowflakes don't post here more. But there are plenty that do. Of course, lefty dipshits who love censorship and propaganda and hate free thought constantly cry that anytime they post someone responds to them or engages them. Because they should be allowed to just throw out whatever ignorant nonsense they want and never have anyone questioning xhem because zir above mansplaning or whatever.
So you literally took the statement that the people who post here lean hard right and countered with "lefty dipshits can post here if they want, they won't be banned or censored, it's not my fault [lol sjw pronouns so funny lmao] [extreme generalizations]!"

You didn’t list any that lean right. I’d be happy to call them bias as well.

Didn’t you literally say earlier “hey we’re not so bad because those other guys are worse” is a horrible argument?

The original media were newspapers owned by one political point of view. There can be no objective news. This is my best source .

...what do you mean, "So?" That liberal ideas are generally unwelcome if not unpopular here is the entire point of this discussion, dude.
You seem to have trouble comprehending why Democrats are despised.
1. They always want a handout.
2. After every mass shooting they want new gun laws. They want to feel warm and fuzzy inside for "doing" something. Forgoing logic by not realizing criminals and the mentally ill will never follow their "warm and fuzzy" new gun law.
They should leave people alone and pay for their own shite.

Would it make you feel better if I also called hard right people Zionist Nazis and hillbilly trash?
That’s makes me nonbiased according to your definition. If I tell both sides they’re dumb and they both get mad it means I’m doing something right.

I have question...
Is this something really worth arguing about?

You're assuming. I was just pointing out that your argument against "the people here are right-leaning" with "but everyone can post here if they want!" (see my last post) was incorrect.

You are not going to like this but...Bloomberg "leans right" just as much as ABC "leans left".
You are going to hate this chart though, because it disagrees with your reality.

This unfortunately reflects a really annoying trend here, which is instead of engaging with the topic switching to a kind of related thing and arguing against that instead, then calling it a win. This thread is not asking if tigerdroppings has rules and policies in place that allow unbiased discussion. It's asking if it's the best place for nonbiased news
