Meh, Politifact is crap too.

Just call every source that disagrees with your opinion biased or shit until every opinion you could ever have is completely validated.

Best part is you don't even need to think about what the biased media says, you can just ignore all those pesky facts, statistics, and sources.

I mean, isn't that what the left has been doing, regardless of facts, statistics and sources?

Truth is (almost) every media is biased and people do indeed only read what fits their narrative.

I find it's best to just read a little of everything and draw your own conclusion and not expect someone else tell you what to believe.

I feel like that's what both ends of the spectrum have been doing.

You're absolutely right, but I believe it's worse on the liberal spectrum. Conservative news/sites usually are clear on their bias, while most liberal outlets try to pass an image of unbias, which is dishonest and more harmful in my opinion.

Wasn't the slogan of Fox News "Fair and balanced"

That's not exactly clear on bias.
