I mean, I understand what you are saying, but they are hardly the cutting edge of independent investigative journalism. They have bias, and it is obvious. They accomplish this bias via the means outlined in "Manufacturing Consent," just as ALL media does. There is really no such thing as a "solid paper," and I feel nothing but sympathy for how disenfranchised you will be (as was everyone else who woke up) when you finally see the curtain pulled back another layer.
As far as news outlets go, I would probably trust the CSM more than any other source because at least they don't try and purport that they have no bias. While I cannot say that I am an aficionado of the CSM, I have read several of their articles from time to time, and yes, they employ decent to good writers and editors. Can the bias still be detected? Yes.
So:
uh no what i am clearly saying is that CSM is a biased paper just like every other paper, and that u r dum as fuk for assuming I thought they were more biased than any other media outlet based on me saying "even."
u r 100% off base as anyone who actually critically thinks about and analyzes int'l news well knows CSM has a slant just like every other well respected paper, of which none are neutral.
