    To think that people would have opinions that influence their writing. For shame. That doesn’t happen anywhere else. /s

    Honestly you need to understand your sources biases and use multiple sources then you’ll get close to the truth. Or at least what you want to be the truth because you have your biases too.

    EDIT: thank you for that link. It’s a breath of fresh air.

        I’ll take the opportunity to plug ground.news - it’s a site that shows all media sites it can find about a particular news story, displays their political leanings etc, their general writing bias and/or likelihood of misinformation, and then attempts to summarise the story.

      But that’s the problem: doing it right takes a lot of effort, doing it wrong is worst than not doing it, so I end up just not reading the news.
