Ask Lemmy

I mean... literally everyone is biased in some way so I would be dishonest if I said that he lacks any and all biases, right? But he did present multiple POVs surrounding the issue, which is about the best that could ever be hoped for, practically speaking. Ofc it's less than 15 minutes long and has jokes mixed in along with the information so the information density is even less than that... so there's only so much detail that he is going to be able to cover there.

Off the top of my head, I would think that his chif bias would be away from violence - most of us in the Western world would share that, but it is a bias nonetheless, that not everyone today and certainly not everyone in the past and future will share.

In most ways I consider one of the least biased "journalists" still active today (that word should probably have a pseudo- in front of it, b/c he's more of an aggregator and deliverer than a finder-outer, but still, him + his team have done quite well in the past). He was already retired, having stepped back into the fray only temporarily during this next USA Presidential election season for his own fun and b/c I think he genuinely cares about people and realizes how lost most of us feel right now, so he is offering and we (his audience) are glad to accept. So unlike most media personalities, he doesn't give a crap about building up his "fame" or having to toe the corporate line - I imagine that if he says something that "they" don't like, he will just walk away, and it will be their loss far more than his for him to do so. :-P That said, he still would like his videos to be aired, and there is just common decency and politeness too, so he probably toes the line a little bit, i.e. he still has biases it is just that they are greatly reduced compared to most in his line of work.

Edit: I am just going to add this little gem here too:

“The bias of the mainstream media is toward sensationalism, conflict, and laziness.”
