There's no longer unbiased news, every platform is playing to a side unfortunately and the audiences are asking for that now too. It's a chicken or the egg situation on whether the platforms starting duping audiences or audiences wanted slanted news, but it's where we are now. They feed each other.
I try to read both sides with a grain of salt and the truth is somewhere in the middle.
What you're seeing demonstrated in this thread is many people will only read from sources they already know agree with them and will say exactly what they want to hear.
Shooting the messenger is a defence mechanism to avoid facing information you can't refute and don't want to tackle or dare consider to have some validity.
That way, they never have to challenge anything they think, and quite frankly don't have to think at all. Everything they post is a playbook written by someone else anyway.
