Something tells me you consider everything that isn't Fox News and Breitbart to be far left?

- busymom0 7y agoI don't care about left or right when it comes to listening to viewpoints. I listen/read to Vox, Vice, Salon, Slate, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NYTimes, WaPo, TheHill, WSJ, Fox, Breitbart, Tim Pool, David Packman, Dave Rubin, Joe Rogan etc which covers a wide variety of viewpoints. I think it's important for people to listen to both sides to have a balanced viewpoint. As long as the person/news is providing me with the original source of their info which I can read and verify myself, I will listen. I don't simply trust what the media tells me, I look for the actual source and verify that what the media says is actually what the original source says. I also often wait 2-7 days when some breaking news comes out to actually make a decision about the news as often things turn out to be wrong now a days. We live in a clickbait era where there's an incentive for media to spout nonsensical headlines - therefore verifying it myself is important.
- TechBro8615 7y agoI do this too. I find the best way to get close to “the truth” (when it even exists) is to read diametrically opposed sources. I accept that every source is biased, if not outright, then at least by selection. You can learn a lot about agendas and infer biases by seeing what stories one source is publishing, and another source is choosing not to publish.
