Weekly Example of Media Bias - January 17, 2018
1. Brian McNicholl concludes his post by noting: "Google is trying to establish itself as an honest broker of what is true and what is not. We can debate whether it is a fit referee given a lawsuit now pending against it by a former employee who was fired for pointing out the organization’s leftist political bias." He then suggests,
"If [Google] wants to be taken seriously in this pursuit, it will need to scrutinize sites of all political persuasions with fact checkers who themselves are not committed to one side or the other. Better still: Use the old system; let people judge for themselves which media outlets convey news in an honest way."
