The irony of this though is that you just become bucketed in another consumer group.
Resist the packaging of yourself by media firms and marketing.
Try and consume news through the sources like AFP or Reuters (unfortunately not free anymore)
> Suggests some different buckets.
Compared to the Guardian or CNN, the reporting is much less subjective and less editorialized, and, outside of Breaking Views, I've yet to find an article with an obvious ideological bent.
It's not ideal, but it is better. Sure, it's probably still a bucket, but at least the lid isn't tightly shut, and there's no fire beneath it that's going to slowly cook you over time. I switched to Reuters when the war in Ukraine started: it was the only source of news that wasn't very obviously, in-your-face biased. It's not the best source for longer-form reporting, but for news, I'm much happier in this bucket than in the alternatives I tried.
It means that our news is filtered through a handful of outlets, and is dependent on their own policies.
