Google News vs. Apple News on iOS

I'll keep getting my news from my most trusted news source, thanks: Relatives posting things on Facebook!
 
I'm doubt if peoples still reading News in small screen than watching. Hoping more News video contents coming-in than long written news/articles.

I never said that anyone doesn’t have bias. I simply object to people who claim to be reporting the news, injecting their own opinions into the story. News should be unbiased, but unbiased news doesn’t sell. I mean, nobody watches C-SPAN, although admittedly that’s at the other extreme. Pure, 100% boring news. That has its problems too.

You want unbiased news but then you don't want unbiased news because it's "boring"? Make up your mind.

What high horse? Just look at the CNN versus Fox News joke in the US. News should be about facts, nowadays it is ether about feeding you adds (money) via screaming headers while zero content or to influence your opinion (power) by completely biased information. You just cannot trust any source anymore, just sad.

There are plenty of sources that offer what you seek: AP, Reuters, AFP.

If you want publically funded outlets, PBS Newshour is excellent.

Problem is most people wouldn't know real news even if they were staring it right in the eye. That's because they already have a bias about something and will cry BIAS if the newscaster doesn't say what they expect to hear.

Nope.


Not necessarily.


Why, or how, would I have put this in PRSI?


How?

I meant whoever posted this. This is quite obviously something which should be in PRSI, and I believe even a former forums moderator should be able to figure that much out.

I never said I didn't want the biased stuff, I said I'm not a fan of it. Who the heck cares now, all of my posts have been deleted by our glorious leaders here, so I can't reference anything.

Disagree. The article is about apps, not about news. Besides, moderators don't post articles, editors do.

I’m fairly certain you’re grasping at straws. The contents of an app is most definitely relevant when discussing the app itself. You should have put this in PRSI, and saved everyone, including yourselves, a nice fat headache. I don’t like having my posts deleted, and I expect more from this site. You should have known better.

No, they should be able to expect adults to act like adults.

That has nothing to do with what actually happened. If you had read the posts of mine they deleted, I didn't even reveal my political leanings in any way. Few so-called adults are able to so calmly discuss the news, without injecting their own politics into it. I'd say I behaved as an adult, but perhaps your definition of "adult" is different from mine. Bottom line, my comments were actually quite important, and included numerous valid apolitical points that I believe almost anyone would agree with (many did before they were deleted), and deleting them did not help anyone. I'm sure it boosted the ego of whichever moderator did delete them, however. Exercising power can be quite the trip, even if used incorrectly. Naturally he will receive the support of his team, further justifying his actions in his own mind, and biasing him further. Such is how the world works, I'm afraid.

I would argue part of being an adult is knowing when and where a discussion should be had.
 
Both are full of clickbait BS. it's all about famous people tweeting garbage. I turned it off a long time ago on my iPhone
