 The discussion about media bias and fairness doesn't even seem to have a real world application anymore. If I disagree with a news story and you point me to a source that verifies the position I disagree with, well your fact checker is also biased. I can continue that ad nauseum through however many layers of verification I need to to protect my preconceived notion. Hell I can go so far as to admit that you are factually correct but it doesn't matter because I feel a certain Way and that's just as valid. People are unironically interpreting news and issues in this way at an astonishing rate.
