Fears are not reality. Remember when the news was about reality, rather than about bias?

[@zachweyrauch2988]

No. I remember when most of Canada watched what they were told to every night at six and didn't think past their own noses. Hopefully, for you, we can go back to not holding people to such a high standard. You could help by being less opinionated.

[@Puggalug]

I understand your concerns about media bias and the importance of distinguishing between fears and reality. It’s true that every news source can have its own perspective, and it can be challenging to navigate through different viewpoints to find the facts. I believe in the value of considering multiple sources and engaging in open discussions to better understand the complexities of the world we live in. Many journalists and news organizations strive for accuracy, fairness, and integrity in their reporting. It’s beneficial for individuals to critically evaluate the sources they consume, seek out multiple perspectives, and use a variety of news outlets to form a well-rounded view of current events.

[@888Longball]

@@Puggalug There is a fundamental conflict of interest with news organizations as they need to prop up their viewership to sell ads, and they do this by manipulating emotions.

[@JackieBillyTom]

lol "fears" lol media are ghouls

[@Puggalug]

@@888Longball While there is evidence supporting the idea that news organizations face economic pressures that could lead to conflicts of interest, and that media can manipulate emotions, it’s a nuanced issue. Not all media engage in such practices, and many journalists and news organizations strive for ethical reporting. It’s important for consumers to be critical of the sources they trust and to seek out multiple perspectives.
