If we dismissed news organizations that have biases we would have no articles to comment on. News is inherently editorial, you can't cover everything so you have to pick and choose what is "important". Guess what? Things that make news organizations owners, advertisers or preferred political candidates look bad is often found to be less "important" than things that make them look good.
It's just how humans work. You don't go to college and get paid low wages to report on the unbiased truth, you do it to push for whatever your personal definition of good is.
We can utilize this human flaw to our advantage. A newspaper owned by one billionaire might on occasion dig up some dirt on another. If we just dismiss them then we will miss it and sometimes it checks out.
- SideburnsOfDoom 3y ago> A newspaper owned by one billionaire might on occasion dig up some dirt on another. This does not describe the story above in any way. A choice of billionaires is a very poor menu. I don't "just dismiss them for that reason", I gave some reasons above. What do you mean by "alternative news sources" ? Give an example.
