Did you apply your critical thinking to this answer?
If you did, I'm gonna have to advise you to take your own advice, since this answer in no way answers the question.
So, if I think critically, the truth is somewhere in the middle?
Apologies if I said something to invite your passive aggressive response. You do seem quite passively calling out a few accounts but won't mention them, I'm curious as to your politics now. Do you think it works like your neighborhood association where if you don't say the word that people will get it and it will protect you from revealing your bias?
You came here and explained a bunch of nonsense. That's why you got a passive aggressive response.
Your comment is not only jaded and wrong, but it's also not what I asked. You just came here to pontificate about your conspiracy theories about the media.
Which, for the record, is exactly sort of stuff this post was inspired by. Hyperbole and dribble. You didn't say anything of substance. You just talked down to me and rambled on about how nobody can trust the news. And that, is nonsense.
Replace the word "news" with "historical document" and OP is discussing how to conduct academic research.
Man, this whole thread has tried my patience. It's as if not a single Lemmy user thinks that current events are worth following.
I'm not sure where everyone is getting their information, but this response is sorta terrifying.
Current events are certainly worth following and Lemmy could be a great place to add comments, ask questions and find additional context. A bot to scrape a relevant subreddit if content is needed.
Complaining about bias is what I was addressing. You can get unbiased media. Al-jazeera is surprisingly good for world news.
Isn't Al-Jazeera a state-owned Saudi network? I'd trust them about as much as RT, Fox, CNN, or TikTok.
Qatar state owned. Yes. Expect bias for ME matters, but RoW it's mainly fact based.
Eh no thanks, I try to avoid getting my news from religious nuts lol. Good try, though.
I wasn't complaining about bias though. That's the thing. I was asking for reliable news aggregation on Lemmy. Big difference
Nobody here seems to understand that though. Or, very few.
I know news is bias. That isn't the point. It's the posting of blogs, YouTube videos, altering headlines, using alts to brigade voting and push an agenda... Here, on Lemmy, not in the media.
The media is a known commodity. If I read an MSN article, I know their bias. If I read a fox news article, I definitely know their bias.
A bunch of edgy "communists" and qanon accounts manipulating the large news and politics community ON LEMMY is the point. Not the news
