All news agencies have a particular ‘leaning’ or bias. Plenty of studies have shown that most news agencies lean liberal; NYT, BBC, that is the nature of journalism, reporting ‘problems’ within society. Foxnews has a clear conservative leaning, but they go to great lengths to assure that opposing sides are clearly and intelligently covered. This is not the case with ASTV, which routinely suppresses the opposition, and that is a huge distinction between the two.
