Someone said it in a thread, and honestly, I get much of my news from this site.

Before trump destroyed the liberals on this site by winning, there used to be a bit of both sides. Obviously there was a conservative slant.

Now that the liberals are pretty much gone except for making snarky comments devoid of any useful information, the poliboard actually serves as a useful source to the news.

I mean if you want to hear just straight up reports of the facts, you can get those here. You can also get your conservative take on those facts.

As far as a single news source, if you had to pick one, what would it be? Usually they are very biases liberally. A few are biased conservative.

I find cutting through the nonsense much easier here.

Yes. We are all very unbiased here, and give all sides a fair shake. A lot of posters lean a little too far to the left for my tastes but still the board is mainly unbiased.

When news breaks, it breaks here first. Both sides of the coin are presented here however the majority of the participants are American loving patriots

Well, pretty much all news is biased but I think this site gets a pretty good mix of news from both angles and things do tend to break here first on the political side of the house...

The comments and take on the news are generally what is biased because of each posters political leanings, which is what you would expect from a political discussion site...

News? Yes. Analysis? No, and that's a good thing. It's what discussion is all about

This is more right leaning than anything but all different views are welcomed, they might not be accepted but you have a place to speak here without you getting banned for posting a different ideology.

I will give TD this, they are generally on the cusp of breaking news, I usually find out stories here before most major news orgs break them.

seems like this is a rare thing today

but, TD's members bring in a wide variety of news of all biases.

Which lets everyone sort through them and make their own conclusions.

Most of the libs have left the building because most of them at least have a modicum of awareness of the fake news being spread by the OMB MSM.

Little right leaning, but both extremes get called out.

This is the best off topic discussion place on the web period - For me it used to be the Ohio State site The Ozone but the owners severely censor the off topic forum now... it’s no where as good as it used to be so I jumped over here and I have found this to be terrific...

yes.

certainly, there is a right bias in here, but people try very hard to back their opinions with sources (and many times, multiple sources).

This place is a right wing suck fest and even the conservatives who question anything Trump does or show any hypocrisy get lambasted.

It’s a great site to get unfiltered and the right leaning POV you don’t get with the MSM, but to call it unbiased is laughable.

And this is coming from someone who despises the left.

I don't know if nonbias anything exists. But this place is very well represented.

What's funny is there is a giant group of left leaning posters who constantly claim they have no voice and this place is a hive mind..... Despite the fact that they're all here every day commenting and engaging in discussion.... Typical.


ETA:

read the comment above this one. Perfect timing

Don't worry the "hard left"(as if there is any other kind now.) will be back once the people make a great mistake and elect a D into the White House again. They will have to spin all the bullshite like last time.
