It's not a personal preference situation. You're making a decision that affects those close to you, those you work with, and those you encounter in a grocery store aisle.
It's been so many years since polio and earlier vaccines that people have forgotten the power and importance of collective action. Hope we can turn that around.
"Bias" in terms of reporting (as opposed to journalism) isn't even a thing. When you do reporting right, you tell what happened. Who, What, Where, When, How. These are observable facts. You don't choose to report whether an explosion happened in Beirut or whether the President of the United States said X or Y in front of cameras. These are observable facts. You report all of it. "X number of people marched in Portland." That's a fact, report it. "X number of police killed people they were arresting in 2019." Another fact.
VOA & S&S did a fine job of this, as well as NPR, CBS, NBC, and the smaller parts of Fox News and CNN that report things versus get talking heads in boxes to talk about things.
"Both the Military Times and S&S suffer from the same bias as MSM" <- not an observable fact.
"Most people that serve are conservative leaning." <-that's not an observable fact.
"Orange man bad" <- ALSO not an observable fact, although reports of his criminal acts in and out of office may very well be. You get to make that judgement. The health of our society REQUIRES a free press to get those facts in front of all of our eyes so we can vote in an informed way.
