@pluralistic What really disturbs me about the media's fear of bias is it's based in a simplistic, binary view of stories. The news we most need often has more key dimensions than that.
Jay Scott wrote reviews for The Globe and Mail I got great use out of for MANY years, even though it was clear that he and I liked almost none of the same movies. But he wrote his one opinion of a film and detailed why and from that I could tell quite reliably whether it would be for me.
