News should present the TRUTH. Idea of 'unbiased' news is recent.

1. Theres a lot of good wisdom here, but even truth has bias

Much of what they reported about Hillary was “truth”. But repeatedly dwelling on minutiae of her emails and security and the fake investigations helped create an impression that she was a security risk and that she had done something horrendously bad and dangerous to national security.

Had it been reported fairly, it would have gotten minimal airtime. They would have said that what she did easily falls in the category of things that get only warnings, not indictments. They would have said that anyone who handles that kind of volume of classified info could easily get a warning from time to time.

And of course, they would have reported that vastly bigger security risks include ignorance and contempt of proper practices, shady financial dealings, thousands of civil suits, multiple accusations of sexual assault, ties to countries like Russia, ties to organized crime, and
refusing to comply with routine disclosures.

All these are truths as was. But there’s also huge bias in the editing and presentation of truth.
