America Needs Unbiased News

We the People deserve information not opinions.

Nobody is unbiased anymore, not people, not news outlets, not politifact, not even google. Every search engine, news outlet, and website has control over what information we see and don't see. Personally that makes me nervous because I feel like I'm not getting true information. For example, the auto fill on google assumes what you're going to search and gives you ideas before you even get to look at the information.

When you search "Presidential Debate" on google the first page brings up articles and resources from debates.org, uspresidentialelectionnews.com, washingotn post, CNN, New York Times, LA Times, NBC news, ABC news, New Yorker, and The Atlantic. So if you take a look at the chart below:


You'll notice that of all the sources included in the chart they all fall on the more liberal side of the spectrum. So I continue through the pages to find anything from the other side and on page 5 fox news finally appeared, but was followed soon after with the Huffington post.

Now I do not personally want to start an argument of which side is better but I feel that if someone is going to look information of the presidential debate they should have equal opportunity of finding news from both conservative and liberal news sources.

So here is why I feel we should have unbiased news:

News should be factual I really don't understand why journalists take their own spin on news because they really should just be stating facts and giving information.

All outlets should be equally represented through search engines I believe that this sets future generations up for leaning a particular way when they should be free from bias before having to make these choices. I learned to use google well before I was deciding my political party of choice.

Lastly, it taints the political process When deciding how to vote the American people deserve equal opportunity for both sides, which would be possible if regular facts were stated instead of opinionated people stating their opinion on different events that happen.

I would be against this regardless of which bias it was towards. The American people shouldn't have to specifically search for a certain type of information to access regular unbiased information but that's how society is and we as American's deserve better.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
