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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
