Should you trust media bias charts?
Impartial journalism is an impossible ideal. That is, at least, according to Julie Mastrine. “Unbiased news doesn’t exist. Everyone has a bias: everyday people and journalists. And that’s OK,” Mastrine said. But it’s not OK for news organizations to hide those biases, she said. “We can be manipulated into (a biased outlet’s) point of view and not able to evaluate it critically and objectively and understand where it’s coming from,” said Mastrine, marketing director for AllSides, a media literacy company focused on “freeing people from filter bubbles.” (Poynter 11/22/21) READ MORE>>>>> |

==The Atlantic======
First Issue
The Atlantic is an American magazine and multi-platform publisher. It features articles on politics, foreign affairs, business and the economy, culture and the arts, technology, and science. It was founded in 1857 in Boston as The Atlantic Monthly, a literary and cultural magazine that published leading writers' commentary on education, the abolition of slavery, and other major political issues of that time. Its founders included Francis H. Underwood and prominent writers Ralph Waldo Emerson, Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr., Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and John Greenleaf Whittier.
James Russell Lowell was its first editor. In addition, The Atlantic Monthly Almanac was an annual almanac published for Atlantic Monthly readers during the 19th and 20th centuries. A change of name was not officially announced when the format first changed from a strict monthly (appearing 12 times a year) to a slightly lower frequency. It was a monthly magazine for 144 years until 2001, when it published 11 issues; it has published 10 issues yearly since 2003. It dropped "Monthly" from the cover beginning with the January/February 2004 issue, and officially changed the name in 2007.

Laura Loomer accuses magazine of using 1950s stock photo to push for Trump assassination
Laura Loomer, the pro-Trump right-wing activist whose history of unhinged behavior even worries some of her fellow MAGA devotees, posted a bizarre new conspiracy theory accusing The Atlantic magazine of sending subliminal messages to assassinate former President Donald Trump. In particular, Loomer says that a recent Atlantic article about the rapid decline of both inflation and crime over the last year is actually a call to murder Trump given that it features stock photos of a bullet hole shot through a piece of glass and a fistful of dollar bills that happen to contain the numbers 4 and 5, which Loomer believes is code for the 45th president.

Did Alex Soros Really Call for Trump's Assassination?
Activist Laura Loomer (yeah, I know) gave a further explanation of her theory: since the $10 bill facing the viewer is the old-fashioned kind which has "will pay to the bearer on demand" on the bottom, which the treasury replaced with "In God We Trust" in 1963, the year JFK was assassinated, it means that a reward will be offered to the person insane enough to carry out an assassination attempt on Trump. Additionally, since the $5 bill has Abraham Lincoln on it (assassinated), the $20 has Andrew Jackson (survived an attempt), and the $10 has Alexander Hamilton (killed in a duel with Aaron Burr), the implication is more apparent, according to the conspiracy theory.
