Reply to "It is Past Time to Face Reality"

If you find Allsides helpful, that's ok with me.  But their methodology boils down to what they call a "patented media bias detection and display technology."  In other words, it's a black box. And the company is for-profit, so I assume they are getting paid by the sources they aggregate.  Nothing wrong with that--it's true of any news feed.  But I'm contrarian enough to mistrust someone who tells me they are going to rate for me how each article I read leans politically and present me a spectrum they consider "balanced."  There are a lot of hidden value judgments implicit in their categorizations.  I guess I'm more comfortable reading a range of sites that just admit they are trying to sell space for ads.
