Ugh, this is so short-sighted. I get that reading about some of the awful stuff that has happened in past years will make you sad and uncomfortable, but the answer is not to put your head in the sand and ignore them. If you want to feel less depressed, I propose that you stop reading news (and especially commentary) on social media, and instead subscribe to high-quality news outlets such as newspapers. A digital subscription to nytimes is actually pretty cheap.
- wooter 10y agoI find NYT to be absurdly biased.
- matt4077 10y agoThe WSJ, then? It's going to be a really dark age when nobody reads the papers that don't dabble in `Pizzagate`-style journalism anymore.
- ulrikrasmussen 10y agoEvery news outlet is biased, that's unavoidable. Subscribe to at least one whose bias you agree with, and one you don't. Something that is just as important as getting news is to try to get an understanding of how people who disagree with you think. Try to see things from their perspective and compare it with your own.

Yet you'll have zero guarantee that any number of outlets you pick will cover the whole spectrum. They might very well span a very small spectrum.
