I’m fairly confident that if you look into the ownership or practices of any major news outlet, you are going to find all sorts of awful people.
The trick to news is to, as much as is humanly possible, read everything voraciously. Nobody presents unbiased coverage of all sides of any story. In fact, you may not even be able to get all sides of a story if you read everything.
I believe that it is worth my time to listen to everyone. People I don’t like, people that don’t like me, people I agree with and people I don’t. Because everyone spins. Everyone withholds. Everyone presents their own truth.
So, maybe it’s best not to limit yourself to only one version of the truth. Maybe it is useful to listen to everyone and try to piece it together for yourself.
You are very welcome to have a different perspective.
