Re: Media Bias

Per the visualization:
  • Many news organizations labeled as 'right' are judged to be in the 'red' zone - misleading/inaccurate information.
  • Only one organization labeled as 'left' is judged to be in the 'red' zone - misleading/inaccurate information.

Not sure what is driving your 'poll'.

The Tea Party's core values were:
Free markets
Fiscal responsibility
Constitutionally limited government

The Republican Party was founded with the primary goal to abolish slavery; the Republican Party's commitment to freedom for all remains to this day.

For my variable portfolio I am thinking of making new investments into a dividend fund and a Swiss fund (fund that invests in Swiss companies).

Just checking to see if anyone has any recommendations.
