[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't watch the news anymore.  It's all about stirring the pot using the race card, or about Covid, and nonstop commercials.  I am SO done.[/quote]

Same. Curious. Are you under 45? Like me? No one in my graduating class watches the news. Social media has created an intolerance for some opinion, so it is just sound bites that they chop up all day. Some people are even over stimulated and shut all of it out (another issue). We are all college educated with advanced degrees. Also minorities.[/quote]

So how do you get your information about current events? The electorate getting factual information is necessary in a democracy.[/quote]

PP here.

I have a separate account where I follow 3 primary stations from all angles in US for left/right/finance/science/religion. I look at relevant articles and then I go to source data to validate info myself. I’m a researcher so it is fairly easy for me to do. Updates occur in real time on social media. Also read public press releases and I know how to research company info and read their shareholder messaging. Global publications similar strategy. Has been working for me for years. Anyone can go to the source. Every now and then things are kept close hold but much info is public and if you have any analytical skills at all you can identify trends others pay for.

FWIW - reporting is about 50% fat (opinion and flavoring), and 50% lean (factual info and data). Sometimes 80/20, but most all broadcasters have a similar ratio of opinion and fact and implications broader than their particular interest.[/quote]
