The claim that every news outlet engages in a campaign of lies and distortion is specious. Omission does most of the legwork. We get around the omissions by aggregating here.

Nah the only media literate™ way to consume news is ask a bias meter page which source to uncritically believe and then never do more than a second of thinking about the facts they're presenting or the sources they cite.

That's what the journos are for, I just need to know what I believe.

Ok? So is every outlet that isn't funded by USAID, NED, or a US oligarch.

I already post Sputnik articles, Cello, you don't need to encourage me.
