There has never been an "unbiased news source". There was never a golden age of journalism. That's just a fallacy.
Now, just like always you have to look carefully at the source of any piece of information to determine its bias.
Biased, sure. It used to be much easier to filter out the bias. The problem today is that news sources aren’t even fact checked properly, and you have to rely on other news sources or social media calling out the poor excuse for journalism, and vet out if that source was accurate. It’s literally work to fact check to make sure you can be presented with an unbiased view.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I think it used to be harder to filter out the bias. All you had were what the media companies spoon fed you. It's more chaotic now, but now that people understand that there is no authority on the truth, they aren't relying on one or two sources that they deem to be trustworthy. For DECADES people thought the NYT was a beacon of journalism. Now people know it's just another piece of trash on the trash heap. Just like all the rest of them.

Wrong. For decades academics have trashed the NYT for its inherent bias, you just had to look beyond the obvious sources to find that kind of criticism.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
People STILL think its a beacon of journalism. Not all people. But enough to do damage.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Which is worse for society:
Having the majority be told what to think by a handful of news companies that were biased but not really worried about getting maximum attention by creating outrage
or
Having the majority have access to all the worlds information but mostly being led into echo chambers by social media that thrives on creating outrage for attention
People are more....informed? I guess? They know more things but a lot of people know things that are misleading or straight out lies. And now on top of that everyone is angry
For people that can sift through the bullshit this is a great time to be alive as we can finally know the answers to things we could have only guessed about before, but for me personally I am not happy or optimistic about where social media is taking our society

The latter, it's creating a horrid amount of animosity/hatred along with the dumbing down of the masses. I can't help but to feel it's primarily agenda driven with a less than honourable end goal but that does start to lean into the aluminum hat world hahaThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

People are way less informed than they used to be. Back before the fairness act re: journalism was repealed in the good 'ol U S of A, news was somewhwat impartial and it was easier to find facts. Today it's bullshit.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
It's funny when people tell me to "just Google it". The fuck? Do you know what I do for a living? Google is my bitch and I know how easy it is to rank anything I want there.
Don't trust what you find via Google.

The fairness act was nonsense, and the concept was just hilariously bad.
People are vastly more informed nowadays. The problem is the signal to noise ratio is also worse. But peoples' failings at critical thinking and synthesizing information is not the same as saying they have less information available to them.
