nah bro, some markets are ok, but too much leads to the corporations controlling everything at the expense of the poorer public

Yes, but the author will always impart their own implicit bias. Some people just think the world works differently and value things differently from others. Also, I wasn't trying to bait you.

Sorry, sometimes it is difficult to appreciate in simply written form some of the nuances.

Yes, there always will be bias, specially by the owners (as was pointed for example by President Rafael Correa from Ecuador).

The logical course of action (if we are honest to counteract the problem) is either the fairness doctrine or equivalent when discussing or presenting a news.

Of course it is vulnerable to tampering to drift the Overton window (as it has happened) but no system is completely foolproof. But honestly, there is no real honest interest in reform this problem in any "developed" country, because frankly the corporate overlords see it as a feature not as a bug, and the really concerned to reform it remain in the fringe.

Precisely the point I trying to make along some of the possible ways to make it work with proven measures that already worked.

but they have to explain both sides of political stories as to prevent bias and fake news

Forcing the media to anything is an infringement of free speech. If people want it the government and/or private organizations can do fact checking and perhaps introduce fact checking into the nations curriculum for children?

Emotion can have a place in some debates, actually in some debates I would argue that it's necessary.

Except the forums. Emotional outbursts there usually take the form of flaming etc.

No guarantees. It may be a different size or different species' limb, and we are not responsible for any inconveniences you may have with your new limb. As our motto here at InstaVet™ goes, "You get what you get and you don't pitch a fit".

when did this argument on debates start, anyways?

Emotion is inherently important to certain discussions, I'm sure it's possible to construct an emotional argument without falling victim to irrationality.

Sure it is, but inevitably in the emotive subjects the risk of flames increases massively.

Yall hear about that shooting in Colorado?

My favorite thing about this nation is that we have recognized AI personhood and have slavery. It's like, "sure, you can be a person. Now back to work!" No benefits for being recognized lol.

God I hate tornados.
