who watches CNN or FOX for news anyway? 95% of what they offer as "news" are opinion pieces at best and usually far removed form any journalistic practice
i get my news from the only reliable source: my trip induced dreams and hallucinations
Thanks to donald (since he hates that), my media diet has become significantly leaner. I've learned how to properly audit my news sources, andI'm much better at spotting the spin.
I admittedly look at CNN news articles despite their rep but don't read their op-eds. I just like their webpage UI. Plus I don't think they have a paywall.
I just eat some of the funny pink stuff from my attic and it'll give me visions of the future. By the way, you guys might want to stock up on bottles of water, toilet paper and bird seeds soon. Next month will get REALLY crazy for some reason.
I don't think you are distinguishing between reporting (which CNN and Fox do well) and punditry (the people giving opinions, which are quite disconnected from ordinary people and partisan)
If you just read CNN and Fox news reports, without reading any opinion pieces, you will be quite well informed
i don't really "watch" news in general bc i don't watch cable broadcasts, but it is to still important to at least read many news sources for the sake of getting as much info as possible. fox news does some gross stuff and lies but they will rarely have a reporter actually ask important questions. i mostly just add every major network and newspaper to my feeds and read them all, accounting for their bias.
With both sides of propaganda there is a tiny tiny bit of truth. So I sometimes read them, to see what either polar sides are seeing. Just to try and get a fuller picture of peoples opinions.
Now I obviously don’t use these sources to alter my opinions. Just to better understand why other ppl think the way they do
