Have you ever worked for a news network that wasn't biased?

I haven’t worked at a 24 hour news network, but I have worked in Local News and I know the anchors would talk about how hard it was to stay neutral at times. Showing a real attempt at neutrality, at least on a local news level.

It’s nearly impossible for zero bias to exist, especially because sometimes attempts to be unbiased create a moral equivalence where there isn’t one which in its own way is a bias. True journalist need to be careful and worry about every word to avoid using loaded words and it can be incredibly difficult to avoid confirmation bias. Unbiased networks exist but they are usually much smaller and deal in more local news and even then it’s tough. I have worked mainly overseas as a war correspondent and as for news networks if it’s a large corporation then often times the news is mixed with commentators, not journalists and we end up with 24 hour news. I have seen networks attempt to be unbiased, I would say the closest I have had contact with to an unbiased news source with high traffic that covers international stories as well is Agence France-Presse. The Australian Associated Press is pretty unbiased now even though it was founded by the Murdoch Family as now it’s a non-profit owned by Acta Diurna AAP, in the U.S. I have only seen it in local news and still there is some bias. Usually when money is involved expect bias, mostly because unfortunately most people prefer news that fits in with their own biases. That said even if there’s a bit of a left-center bias with story selection and loaded words you can still find highly factual reporting at the New York Times, obviously Op-Eds shouldn’t be considered as it’s meant to be an opinion piece.

Went from a big firm to work for a smaller firm. The people in the smaller firm are protective of their work and are good by their work too. I no longer feel chaos or stress. I am treated with respect and my schedule is more normal. I am even working more billable hours than before, but it feels like a seamless experience. I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!

M26, I'm scared of a relationship. I've never been in one before and mostly had FWBs and just really good friends but never made the leap. Part of me is torn cause I think I'm still too young, ambitious and enjoy my independence but I'm reaching a point of getting tired of the same old same of opening up to new random people and making new fwbs I'm emotionally and physically invested in. So for someone who is nervous about taking a leap on this what are some things I should seriously consider?

I've been job hunting for a while now, and have yet to secure anything. I've made it through to the writing test a few times but haven't succeeded. I know I have the skill, but I struggle to even get an interview at most places. I'm pretty new out of college, but I'm in Atlanta and I feel like there aren't tons of entry-level positions in the area. Any tips for a new professional? Not sure how to level up my approach to job hunting, but I feel like there's always something I can do.
