    Because sensationalism creates ad revenue. So the news you receive from any side of any story is going to try and make you as angry/scared as possible so you’re more apt to share it and spread the word- they then use the page bits and time spent on their sites to generate more ad revenue.

    Stay away from tankie, far-left, liberal, democratic, conservative, republican, and MAGA-affiliated sites. They’re guaranteed to not be honest with you. Instead, stick with independent and unbiased sources like Reuters and Associated Press.

        Considering how freely and often you use terms like “shitlibs,” I can see how something like this might make you laugh.

        Is it the over seventy prestige in journalism awards between them that you find funny?

          Anyone still trying to say AP and Reuters are independent and unbiased after the way they’ve covered Israel’s genocide is just revealing their own extreme ideological bias.

          Also, the whole concept of saying to avoid liberal sources and then pointing to liberal sources while saying that they’re “unbiased” (as if bias free sources are even possible) is a peak example of fish not knowing what water is.
