I agree wholeheartedly with your first sentence and it's part of why I have never felt there was 'journalistic neutrality' in this country. Certainly there are times when it happens but IMO it's the exception rather than the rule. Every paper, and other news outlet for that matter, has it's own agenda and biases and those are ever present....even if it's not a blatant bias, it appears in the simple choice of what to report and what not to report.
And people's own biases show up in the papers/TV news/etc. that they read, so they tend to believe the ones that agree with them and disagree with those which don't. That only reinforces the feeling that some papers are honest and others are full of BS.

That's the second time recently on VS that I've read what I can only interpret to be Russia (or Putin I suppose, though I'm not sure how one would separate the two) being defined as "the enemy".
Serious question....do most people feel that way? Is that a general consensus? It's definitely not how I see Russia so I'm just wondering how others view them.
