America Needs Unbiased News

We the People deserve information not opinions.

Nobody is unbiased anymore, not people, not news outlets, not politifact, not even google. Every search engine, news outlet, and website has control over what information we see and don't see. Personally that makes me nervous because I feel like I'm not getting true information. For example, the auto fill on google assumes what you're going to search and gives you ideas before you even get to look at the information.

When you search "Presidential Debate" on google the first page brings up articles and resources from debates.org, uspresidentialelectionnews.com, washingotn post, CNN, New York Times, LA Times, NBC news, ABC news, New Yorker, and The Atlantic. So if you take a look at the chart below:


You'll notice that of all the sources included in the chart they all fall on the more liberal side of the spectrum. So I continue through the pages to find anything from the other side and on page 5 fox news finally appeared, but was followed soon after with the Huffington post.

Now I do not personally want to start an argument of which side is better but I feel that if someone is going to look information of the presidential debate they should have equal opportunity of finding news from both conservative and liberal news sources.

So here is why I feel we should have unbiased news:

News should be factual I really don't understand why journalists take their own spin on news because they really should just be stating facts and giving information.

All outlets should be equally represented through search engines I believe that this sets future generations up for leaning a particular way when they should be free from bias before having to make these choices. I learned to use google well before I was deciding my political party of choice.

Lastly, it taints the political process When deciding how to vote the American people deserve equal opportunity for both sides, which would be possible if regular facts were stated instead of opinionated people stating their opinion on different events that happen.

I would be against this regardless of which bias it was towards. The American people shouldn't have to specifically search for a certain type of information to access regular unbiased information but that's how society is and we as American's deserve better.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
