Moderates, which news station do you watch?

Implications *no broader than* that publications particular interest (which is subject to change of course)

Also - reading research data alone tells you plenty. Just read research publications. Look at info reported. Note where it is missing or inconsistent. Dig deeper, validate, cross reference.

I think it is important to know general opinion and community temperature not just in my community but others as well. I find it interesting and it helps me stay objective.

The media is broken. If you try to get information from them, you will end up indoctrinated according to their slant. Just go live in communist China or Russia already if you want indoctrination. You are NOT getting factual information from them.

Case in point: Young boy in MAGA hat (Nick Sandmann) who was cast in a false light by CNN and other major media outlets. They knew the truth. Did they present it to you? No. They took visual bites out of context and screamed about how he was making fun of POC. The public - sheeple - believed the media. The media deliberately tried to ruin this young man's life, and for what? Stirring the pot. Point ratings. Good thing this kid had character and sued them all. He's free to express his opinion, whether you like it or not. You too are free to express your opinion, whether others like it or not. That's our America at its finest. Good thing we have other platforms, such as Utube, where you can watch the exchange between Sandmann and the American Indian in its entirety. The media's attempts to ruin this young man are scarily despicable. DESPICABLE.

I don't know what the answer is.

Except Nick Sandmann was not cast in a false light. A search of videos on the internet revealed that there was a complete video of the entire interaction from start to finish, taken from directly behind Sandmann, where you could hear him and his friend making fun of the Native Americans and watch him ignore the chaperone who was trying to get him to leave. There were posted here, but it looks like they've been taken down. https://indiancountrytoday.com/news/the-whole-story-before-and-after-video-of-nathan-phillips-magayouth-and-more-_O6lTVo8M0muOgi6Foug-w

I'm sorry you feel like you're being "indoctrinated." That sounds like a psychological issue you might want to work on.

Well, this is new to me. Why'd they remove the bolded? Is it available anywhere else?

Are you serious? They were taken down because they were FAKE.

Precisely my point. That PP tried to present FALSE information with the bolded. We're in trouble, and we don't even realize it. A democracy depends on a free press. But if the press is compromised, what does that mean for a democracy?

I think PP knew she was being disingenuous in presenting a false narrative with the bad link. First, she’s not interested in factual accounts but rather in controlling the narrative. And two, if clicking on the link generated revenue (I don’t know if it did), money would have been made. Kind of proves that it doesn’t matter if the news is wrong or not. It’s about money and narrative-facts and truth be damned.

^^ evoke truth and make it more valuable. Greed is not a complicated trait to manipulate. Truth is an existence that has no boundary, yet few pursue it because the process to attain is often uncomfortable. Ans unpredictable. Greed doesn’t like unpredictability. People seek truth for safety and protection. Our human instinct gives us intuition and a brain that constantly checks and builds a habitat for processing truth.

But it’s not necessarily about truth. It’s about $ and being the first to get the story out there to make the most of our limited attention spans and lack of patience. I agree with you, present the facts, what is known, what is unknown, and leave the opinion and spin and controlling the narrative to the Op/Ed page.
Unfortunately it’s eliciting emotion that apparently generates revenue. And emotion cares little for truth.
