Today, there are so many newspapers, news shows and podcasts that give their opinion instead of completely covering the news without bias. However, it is almost impossible to find that nowadays. The best way to find a news story that has balance is to look through many news stories from different websites, news shows and newspapers.

If the same facts and information is included in that story, it is probably balanced and it does not focus on one side. Instead, it covers all sides of an issue as fairly as possible. It is sometimes difficult for a reporter to do that. That means she or he must leave his or her opinion out of the news story. They may want to include their opinion of politics.
