I think it depends on what you’re looking for in journalism. I think America is divided into three groups: those who want news that only speaks to their political values, those who are just looking for the basic headlines, and those who want substantive news, but without the political or opinionated persuasion. I sense that the breakdown is that people are not getting one or the other from mainstream media.

That's a good point, and I'm sometimes not really sure what I'm looking for. I don't want to live only in my liberal/progressive bubble, but I also don't want to see right-wing propaganda pieces.

I'm fine with partisan articles to some extent, but I do often just want deep, well-researched stories about what's happening in the world, without partisan slant. Granted, anyone who writes is going to bring their own biases to their journalism, no matter how much they try to avoid it.
