What, you don't care about ""independent"" sources? (double quotation marks)

[skull-bearer.livejournal.com]

Sorry? I don't get the meaning of the double quotations. I was just saying I'd stick to stuff that was at least trying to remain impartial and report the facts.

[mahnmut.livejournal.com]

Show me a guideline defining the criteria for impartiality.

[skull-bearer.livejournal.com]

We;ll, it's a nice start if to begin with every side is accusing the news source of being biased against the other guy. The BBC is particular has been accused of being left-wing, right-wing, pro-palestinian, pro Israel, all usually at the same time.
Then, it is usually good if they do not make it blatently obvious what side they are on in putting forwards opinions as well as facts. Those which appear to eb sticking to the facts and not pushing any agenda are best.

Finally, I wound not trust any site which seems to be founded on conspiracy theories, which at least two of your sources seem to be.

So you want them not to state their biases but instead follow them silently, while still holding biases. That's called political correctness.

Fact: you'll probably never find a completely impartial media.

I already understood that you would not trust part of the sources. Frankly, I seldom trust any sources.

Maybe you should read my previous post too.
