There's no such thing as an objective source. Advertisement, journalism, propaganda... they all blend together. It really shouldn't be shocking that so many are retreating into their own echo chambers. What's the point of trying to find a reputable source of news, when none of them are?

Because some of them are? And some of them retract their mistakes?

The post linked goes into depth as to why this retraction is too little too late. Having no filter process that prevents obvious click bait nonsense, with a retraction a year later is not worth praising. Best to internalize some skepticism about all "news" and question studies "especially of the gray science variety." Being bothered because it's easy to label outlets with biases you don't like, while forgiving those you do, is just human nature, and I'd wager at the root of why my comment keeps fluctuating wildly as to its rating.
