Let's hope this is some sort of weird early/late April Fool's thingy :facepalm: 

 

 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

CNN won't say a single positive word about Trump, it's the Democrats version of FOX tbh :p

 

CNN does indeed have some bias, but it's way more neutral (and much less editorial) than FOX. 

It's not really the media's job to focus on positive/negative stories. It's their job to report the facts and stay critical. Sure there'll be a lean (pretty much all news outlets have some kind of bias), also in countries with better news outlets than the US, but it's not all.

 

Meanwhile it's also pretty tough to stay positive when Trump goes on a rant pretty much every single time there's a slightly critical question (you know, the kind that journalists are supposed to come up with) while OAN (FOX on crazy drugs) gets praise for bootlicking.

CNN will be criticial of every Republican President there is. Let's don't pretend they started their bias with Trump. Objective journalism has died IMO. Everyone take a side these days and sticks to it which helps to polarize the political landscape. It is what it is. For me both FOX and CNN are equally worthless.

Like 100% objective journalism ever existed :p

Meanwhile, Dutch PM had some tips on how to celebrate Easter in these times: "Have a nice breakfast/lunch with the people in your household, even go for a nice walk with them - as long as you respect the distance from other people."

 

Since for me there's nothing to specifically celebrate with Easter and it's just a day as any other - except for Monday being free - I'll probably just eat some tasty bread we for whatever reason only can buy around Easter and Christmas and that's it :p 

 

It's good weather though, I might indeed take up the advice and go for a walk. It is after all important to stay active and make sure you get some good fresh air, especially in these times.

I'm in no way saying that it started with Trump, former primaries show that very well, though they've also been tough on several democratic candidates, but he has certainly made things worse.

The editorial work is clearly biased (but again, there's less of that than in FOX), but the actual news reporting is much more factual and much better on sources than FOX. There is some bias by omission, but it still has much more neutral work than FOX. Meanwhile it's not really that tough to find less biased media-

Sure it's a jungle of more or less biased media but it's utter rubbish that everyone takes a side and sticks to it. There are plenty of journalists who sticks to proper journalism even though they may personally have sided with one or another.
