Re: I propose that the Front page be reworked.....
IMO most "news" is slanted in some way or another, or at least ones I have seen on TV and read in the paper. In order to get another "side" all anyone would need is google. BBR being a site unique unto itself doesn't need to have news as would be reported on any site.
Hence *object* |

Hence *object* I disagree, most "news" that any site, newspaper, or TV news puts out is recycled from some central source. Almost no one puts a spin on news anymore. And the one network (FNC) that claims not to, completely does.
I wish more news organizations would editorialize, because we need different view points on subjects.
If I want news with facts, I'll catch a Reuters feed or something similar.
But we need some editorialization back in our news. I'm tired of hearing the same thing from everywhere. Why must no one in the news question some of the things that are done by government officials, local and federal? Why do they just tow the line?
I don't mean they should throw opinion into news stories, I'd like to hear the facts first. But they need to editorialize somewhere.
I grew up where Senator Jeese Helms did the Editorials on television every night. I didn't like him, nor did my parents, but at least he actually came out with an opinion on the news and called people out on the things they did. |

In which case, it's slanted by that central source. Not locally slanted, but still slanted.
Any business, which is run for profit, will slant in the direction of its own best interest.
