Cincinnati-Bengals wrote No offense man but that's a terribly biased article, from the way the article is written I think it's terrible what the police officers did, but the overall articles title makes it lose credibility immediately. It's an appellate court not the Supreme Court, they don't set precedents for American law. Every sentence has the writers bias in it, with the use of very negative adjectives to describe every action or the police officers in general. Generally while search warrants are executed the individual is kept out of the way, so I don't understand how the plaintiff could argue what was going on in the basement. If they truly acted in malice then they deserve punishment.


FreeThoughtProject is very hit and miss with their reporting as to whether they are being biased or not.
If it's something about banking, for example, it will probably be objective, but if it's something about police brutality, gay rights, left wing vs right wing politics, etc. it's a struggle for them to get anything across without adding their own spin to it.

They seem to be going in the same direction as FreeThoughtBlogs. I'm wary of any news outlet with 'FreeThought' or 'Truth' in its title now.

It says in their mission statement:

Hateful and obstinate ideologies cloud the web and often the minds of those who cant see through them. We want to change this paradigm by providing a beacon of truth amongst all the lies. The Free Thought Project is a place for people to come together, who dont necessarily agree on all topics, but who want to see a brighter, freer, and more sustainable future for humanity.

Which is what FTB said before they started banning people who didn't agree with the 'editors' narrative.

They are missing the key point about journalism right from the get go. It isn't the journalist's job to decide which ideologies are hateful and which aren't. It is their job to report the facts about both ideologies and let the readers make up their own minds.

I wouldn't consider this journalism though. In my eyes you have to be a journalist to do journalism and you have to be a blogger to upload a blog. How good your website looks has no impact on that.
