Even if it's an awful news source, which it is, it's the only place to receive the other side of stories, or alternative viewpoints, as biased as they are. Fox News and CNN are the same in my book. You can disagree with that, which is fine, to each their own, but I see them both as insanely biased, politicized, monetized, having given up on actual journalism long ago. I watch them both just to see what the extremes of both sides are up to, with the truth being a combination of bits and pieces from both sides. I literally have to incorporate Fox News in, as horrible as it is, because it's the only way to be exposed to any other data.
So yes, I watch it, and yes, I don't think it's good or understands me, but there's no other choice; the alternative is to be awash in one ideology's propaganda 24/7, to only ever receive information from sources that are horribly biased one way.
- chillwaves 6y agoHere is an alternative idea: don't watch any of these "horribly biased" news sources.
- chrisseaton 6y agoThat seems like sticking your head in sand. I want to know how other people are talking and thinking, so it's not a surprise later on!
- spamizbad 6y agoBut you’re not receiving “the other side” because news stories aren’t binary. You’re simply consuming an alternate take on the matter.
