[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can barely consume either now. Never followed RW news but LW has become so biased and manipulative I can’t stand it. So I am walking around clueless but happier. [/quote]

Which LW news, specifically?  WaPo is only slightly left of center.  Are they biased?  Sure.  But a lot of things they report that the right whines about as "so biased and manipulative" is in fact spot on, the right wing just doesn't like hearing it.  And since they don't like hearing it they scream "fake news" and whine that it's manipulative when they aren't nearly as much the problem as the right is.[/quote]

I am a center left independent (not right wing) who stopped reading WaPo halfway through the Trump administration. Too many click-baity headlines. Now I primarily read WSJ and the economist. I don't disagree with your point that they arent as manipulative as most of the right wing new sources; however, it is no longer regularly providing points of view that I value in news sources.

So you are cherry picking.  You don't like those points of view, so you go somewhere that reinforces your point of view.

No one is interested in facts anymore.  Just having their own beliefs parroted back to them.[/quote]

DP: i am with previous PP. The WSJ and the Economist are much more objective and diverse than WaPo. Try them for a couple weeks, you'll see.[/quote]

More importantly they are both fact based. The previous poster is showing their own ignorance by claiming that people who read the WSJ and Economist don’t care about facts. [/quote]
