>Contrary to the conservative spin over the years, I have found public broadcasting to be one of the least biased sources
Can we break this down?
You open with a effectively derogatory accusation about conservatives making things up…which I have no opinion on.
That immediately shows your own likely liberal bias and then you say you saw no problem with the programming.
Isn’t that exactly the issue? That you saw no issue and everyone that disagrees is just wrong?
How do you know? How would you know if CBP’s biases weren’t just your own?
Do you know the arguments against the biases of CPB, NPR, PBS from the people that can make their most effective arguments against those orgs, or do you know the lines of the people that already agree with you?
Jon Stewart Mill’s On Liberty has a great part about this… [It is not enough to know the refutations from your own teachers, you must learn them from the people that present them in their truest form].
Your argument is just assuming the (1) previous poster has liberal bias, (2) CPB has liberal bias, (3) previous poster is unable to recognize their own or CPB’s liberal bias.
Maybe these are true, but I don’t see the basis for it here.
> the conservative spin over the years
And this is a liberal site; regardless of how the “intellectuals” like to talk about ACKSHUALLY it’s bla which ends up being San Francisco liberal with more steps.
I consider my estimation to be two points of evidence. Along with the user’s post history of course.
One does not need to hold liberal bias to identify conservative spin.
