It wouldn't be so bad if they clearly weren't biased.
They're bias is so obvious it's stupid. It's clear that they want to push agendas, and they're agenda is usually of what they think will get their user-base to click their links and keep them glued to their agenda.
Bloggers did this... the so called pros in the profession are trying to compete with the amateurs and the quality is suffering.
Of the big ones, the only one who seems to be somewhat trying to stick with facts is Reuters. Sometimes I'll get a hint of bias at the tail end of some articles, but they do for the most part seem far less bias than the other big names IMO.
ESPN used to be good until they decided to start pushing political agendas in my face... still didn't figure out where the troll commenters went, wish I could find them :/
They got sick of the commenters calling them out on their BS and shut down the comments for good... needless to say, they've lost about 30-40 clicks a week from me because of it, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
