It’s not so much what their interpretation is of the specific article is, it’s more that you might find more information from someone who has info that was left out, or maybe another source that has conflicting information.

Could you show us a few not so biased news sources? I suppose this will also vary wildly by topic. A news outlet might be narrative/propaganda driven on one topic, but not about another.

It’s so much mess (through corporate ties or money) to sort through, it’s hard to trust any of them anymore

Yeah, what a horrible headline lol.

It’s about Facebook allegedly stopping it’s streaming service to keep one of its largest ad revenue customers happy (Netflix), but also that court docs were unsealed in an anti trust suit, and Facebook may have agreements with Spotify and Netflix, to allow them to read users DM’s (no idea why that’s relevant but yeah, fuck Facebook! Lol)

It’s very speculative though and may not be true. Not that it’d surprise me if it were true either though…

🤷 Does anyone here even use Facebook?

Sometimes there’s good discussion though, and it’s good to hear different takes.

Having comments also gives less power to the writer, like could you imagine if we all took Fox News or CNN headlines at face value and didn’t discuss them?

I don’t see it either, OP is trolling until I see otherwise. OP posted this in other instances too while claiming it is real - no links provided and they didn’t even bother to put a date/time stamp on the fake tweet

100%

Tabloids are the OG click baiters

Yeah hah, probably. I just think the amount of people discussing/up-voting a tabloid article is hilarious

Marketing: 1 The people: 0

I always trust salon.com for my unbiased political news…

Either they’re not Chinese or they don’t look further than 1 comment deep

This is how I know there’s upvote bots rolling through here.

Who tf on Lemmy commends Facebook…for anything?

Suck your foot all you want

Biden is like Trump’s kryptonite. Trump always tries to get in the other guys head.

Can’t get in Biden’s head…Bidens not in there, good luck dude

The comments from when that happened a few years ago? Is that was you’re referring to?

Because I’m referring to most of the commenters in this thread having a big 'ol hate circ jerk.

In my head, being on the left used to mean compassion and tolerance, but it’s clearly the same spitefulness as the right. I’m beginning it think this is just how tribalism in general works, doesn’t matter what team you’re on

They’re all back online now. I mean I dislike the ultra wealthy as much as the next guy but y’all got hate boners

Yeah, it’s not any different than ICE vehicles, people here just love being on the Elon hate train. If it’s related to anything he touches, you’ll mostly only see negative comments be upvoted. Me saying this tends to set some off too so

BRING THE DOWNVOTES, I DRINK YOUR TEARS

Haha yeah I’ve seen the same. A lot of things I see people saying today all feel like part of the Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit song where shes singing

when logic, and proportion have fallen sloppy dead, and the white knights are talking backwards <- And the red queens off with her head

Just remember what the dormouse said

Obviously laws don’t exist in countries where white people are a minority. But if they did, and they hired citizens to enforce it, they’re now racists and bigots forever

/s

Are they all bastards though?

You don’t think there’s any of them out there trying to actually help?

If you think it’s all about getting power and bullying others, then I’d say you’re showing us what human dynamics you think have the highest value. Like a form of projection.

There are genuine people that actually do want to help that work in these fields.

Would you want to keep showing up to the worst day of peoples lives and see how you can help? Like the constant shootings, stabbings, car crashes, or domestic violence for example.

If it was all about power, there’s way more lucrative industries that require half the effort.

I have no idea what this dude’s background is like specifically, maybe he is a bag of shit, but it’s unfair to lump every individual person into black and white categories

Oof you can’t say anything on Lemmy that defies the “we hate tesla because Elon” culture - even slightly.

Enjoy the -30 downvotes lol, I’m sure I’ll join you shortly.

I’d love a world like that too, and I think most people would. There’s just too many different cultures and opposing views that we won’t be able to have just a single truth though. Like the Palestine vs Israel stuff for example.

It’d be very dangerous if there was a small governing body of people that gets to decide what’s truth and what isn’t. Maybe if we could figure that out openly, with the public, and have it decentralized and no singular group could control a narrative, maybe we’d inch closer to that ideal

Fair enough, but censorship won’t fix the underlying issue that people aren’t taking the time to think about what they’re reading/watching. It might make it worse once it becomes information “they don’t want you to see”
