Welcome to postmodernism! Nothing anyone says can be taken at face value! Deconstruct everything! :-)

  That attitude has always existed about news, post-modernism just tried to wrongly apply it to literally everything.

    Why did you say that?

      Because your comment, while clearly a joke (that I did enjoy), somewhat insinuated that postmodernism sort of invented the idea of doubting sources and looking for their biases, or at least that's how I perceived it. I think doubting sources based on their expected motivations and biases is a part of human rationality since time immemorial, and that postmodernism simply applied this way of thinking to some of the areas where it was traditionally not applied, like science and literary analysis.
