Perspectives: New York Times, Epoch Times in Public Spar Over Bias

The New York Times (Lean Left bias) published an investigation of The Epoch Times (Lean Right bias) last week, examining its digital expansion and purportedly shady influence tactics. The Epoch Times responded by critiquing the New York Times' alleged media bias in an article two days later. Each piece raised questions about the existence and power of media bias at both publications. We encourage readers to remember that unbiased news does not exist. This makes it essential to go beyond initial accusations of bias, read across multiple perspectives, and decide for yourself how you feel about the issue at hand.
