      We have a problem then. The internet does not have reporting or accuracy standards.  Video can be edited, and like with any other medium, stories can be selectively covered. You cannot reliably depend on a balancing or opposing view being presented by another party.  Of course, there is inherent "click selection.," where you preferably watch or read what appeals to you and your world view.
      I actually think you are more prone to bias by relying on the internet than by seeking a range of outlets in MSM.

        Oh, do you mean like CNN edited that clip of the black girl saying not to riot in her area?  The mainstream media claimed she called for peace and calm, when in reality she called for the blacks to destroy the suburbs.  CNN only changed their story once they were caught in the lie.  After they were forced to change the story, they still downplayed what she was saying.

        Of course, you'll excuse this away too.

          I am not going to explain it away. CNN made a mistake and corrected it.  If the edited video had appeared on youtube, would it ever have ben corrected?  See what I mean by reporting standards?  You love when the media makes mistakes, but never give them credit when they issue a retraction.  The mistake justifies your claim of biased "fake news."

            If it was on YouTube, it would have been caught, just like they did with CNN.

            CNN still downplayed her message, in the "corrected" reporting.

            CNN had an agenda in the way they originally edited and reported the story.

            They only "fixed" it because they got caught, not because it was the honest thing to do.
