Fair, Factual, and Unbiased News

Where do you get your news from? CNN? Fox News? Cheddar? Google? Apple?

There are many different options these days, especially with Internet and public access channels. Yet, no matter which network or news outlet you subscribe to, there is always a question mark from someone around the content... Is the report a fair or unfair perspective? Is the message being delivered fact or fiction? Is the viewpoint biased or impartial?

We are joined by Seth Feldman, Head of Content at Straight Arrow News, a brand new network based in Omaha, Nebraska.

Seth and his colleagues go beyond the day’s headlines, and stay committed to covering every side of every story. They offer context and perspective to make the sense of the news, delivering an experience with nuance and empathy. The time has come to respect differences in beliefs and opinion, celebrating the American values that unite the people, instead of dividing them. Seth and his team encourage you to be part of the editorial process, by choosing the stories that matter most to you and your family.

In addition, they want you to hold the station accountable as the aim is to be fair, factual and unbiased.
