2020 Election - Finding Non-Biased Information
No matter how polarized an election is, or how close, murky and uncertain a race may be, I always want to find information that is non-biased, non-partisan, "Just the Facts, Mam" (to quote Joe Friday). Most news sources, despite tag lines like "we need the Truth now more than ever" or "We bring you the facts, not fiction", etc., etc. - somehow they still all fail to deliver on this promise (often presenting opinions and editorializing as if they were facts).
Ironically, the most non-biased reporting on the US election I could find was by the BBC.
There is still a slant evident in the writing that the writers may or may not even be aware of, but I felt these links came closer to true "just the facts reporting" than anything else I could find. I found the VP debate unwatchable and the first Presidential debate only watchable in the Saturday Night Live comedy version, but the final debate was surprisingly useful in terms of helping bring to light what each candidate believes, so I include that link as well. Finally - the Wikipedia pages are useful as they represent an amalgam of what thousands of readers felt was true after editing them (slanted or not).
I wish I had found time to research and write this sooner, but I hope you find this useful. Whatever your views, whoever you support, please get out and vote!
