Bret Weinstein talked about his direct experience with that in a recent appearance in Vancouver. How left-leaning and right-leaning publications reported his story differently and to varying degrees of accuracy. He suggests it's exactly because of the underlying narrative of each side.
I agree that all mainstream media, no matter if it's on the right, the left, center, government owned or not -- it's all full of bias to push the narrative each organization cares about.
Maybe 5% of the news reported is worth paying attention to, the rest may as well be garbage.
They put the narrative people want to read about. Have you seen what's on the clickbaity ads ? That's what people click on ! Most people want garbage.
Very true. I internally weep for humanity every time I use a browser without ad block.
And often lacks nuance or historical context. I can't blame people for wanting to avoid complexity, that's why headlines exist, but there will always be information left out. Even from more honest reporting.
