News doesn’t try to be objective anymore. Nowadays almost all tv hosts show their bias outright, even though they might invite people from the other side.
It’s sometimes like watching a daytime talk show. I just started ignoring anything news related lately on YouTube and reddit, and I can feel my negativity decreasing.
- iso1337 8y agoMany of the article titles on Bloomberg etc seem to have turned into clickbait in the last few years. I suppose that’s what works for driving clicks or maybe I have just wised up to it as I grew older. I remember a 10th or 11th grade English class (US public school) where they brought in a guest journalist. She basically told the class that readers would rather read about the story of a family who went through a tornado rather than stats about how fewer people are dying from tornados... so I suppose things haven’t really changed.
