The Writers Guild of America’s new contract tilts streamers toward shelving content, but there’s a solution emerging.

    This reads to me more as going from openly conservative to “I don’t talk about politics”.

    Unless you can show it moving explicitly left, I think it’s still fair to tag the business as ant-union and with a bone to pick in how it lays out its reporting.

      From the media bais checker:

      LA Times (Los Angeles Times) – Bias and Credibility

      These media sources have a slight to moderate liberal bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by appealing to emotion or stereotypes) to favor liberal causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information but may require further investigation. See all Left-Center sources.

      Overall, we rate the LA Times Left-Center Biased based on editorial positions that favor the left and High for factual reporting due to a clean fact-check record.
      
      

      Bias Rating: LEFT-CENTER
      Factual Reporting: HIGH
      Country: USA
      Press Freedom Rank: MOSTLY FREE
      Media Type: Newspaper
      Traffic/Popularity: High Traffic
      MBFC Credibility Rating: HIGH CREDIBILITY

        This is awesome. I did not know there was a ‘media bais checker’.

          It is pretty good.

          Anytime I see a news story from a site I do not recognise, I see what this site has to say about them.

          I treat them like a snopes for news publishers.
