A well researched unbiased look into modern society.
go to http://freewebs.com/currentissues

It is a NON BIASED website adressing the fact that there really aren't many websites that don't have a bias one way or the other.

I came accross this site while searching the net.

Okay, the site is still very much in it's infancy but it sounds very promising.

any ideas, email the author.

please support things like this! :D

1. "bias" is a really problematic term
it's used as a way of dismissing people who don't agree with you, so that you don't actually have to engage their ideas and priorities.

In some sense, everyone and everything published etc. has a "bias", that is, unstated assumptions and priorities.

Better, instead of claiming "bias", to just overtly identify the unstated assumptions and priorities of the sites.

Especially suspicious are people and sites that claim to have no bias. They are claiming that their assumptions and priorities are and should be seen as "the norm" against which it is illegitimate ("biased") to argue.

2. I thought his arguments about global warming were laughable
On the basis of the idea that warming is also part of a natural cycle, he dismissed ANY effect from human activity! So, his conclusion is, "don't worry about it".
WTF!
His articles are written as if he really hasn't paid any attention to what the discussion really is about. Very Randian.
