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.

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.

I understand why but it still saddens me.

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.
