Well, tell that to those who claim they're being lied to and who have access to multiple media where they can corroborate news for veracity while the likes of Russia have no such luxury.I don't understand the purpose in not doing something similar.

I used to do the same thing with the CBC on the radio until 2019 when they caught orangemanbad feverI start with CNN, knowing full well they electioneer for Democrats, but that doesn't completely obscure the . . . news. The headlines. What's happening around the world, that's new. Put a bunch of new's together, and it's news. What's news? What's new. (False etymology right there, to be clear.)
CNN basically reports all the news that's worth being on most news outlets' front pages. I also look at the New York Times, just the headlines. Whenever I do this I see what CNN already told me, so NYT corroborates that CNN isn't blowing smoke.
But NYT also electioneers for the Dems, and I know this full well. Particularly the columns, opinions and editorials on NYT, and all other links, clearly indicate it is homebase for Dems.
And when I click to the Wall Street Journal (before it 'cookie-crashes' their webpage) I see the same headlines there as I see in CNN and NYT. WSJ electioneers for Republicans.
The headlines are unanimous. They are bipartisan. They are a supermajority. All the serious, professional journalists report the news, the headlines, the new's of the day. They slant, they spin, they rhetorically explain and they tell their narratives, but you can see through that, to the actual news.
When I was a boy and was taught about journalism and research, we were always told that more sources was always better than just one source. That was before Fox News (perhaps) started to transparently overtly (like professional wrestling) blur the line between news and journalism and tabloids. But Fox News was only reflecting what had been going on already for a long time in television news, which is that even the most respected news outlets were subtly and secretly and therefore deceptively, electioneering for the Democratic party.Well, tell that to those who claim they're being lied to and who have access to multiple media where they can corroborate news for veracity while the likes of Russia have no such luxury.
lol I do listen to NPR too. Keep your friends close; the saying goes.I used to do the same thing with the CBC on the radio until 2019 when they caught orangemanbad fever
I used to enjoy the CBC overnight when they would do public radio from other countries like Deutsche Wella and Africa Watch. Occasionally I'd catch something from France or Belgium too.lol I do listen to NPR too. Keep your friends close; the saying goes.
Well, it stands to reason that multiple sources are better than just the one else how could that one source be questioned, verified or debunked? As before, it's a case of discerning those sources that in the case of serious news and not just tabloid sensationalism are worth delving into and the credibility associated. Heck, even the tabloid press gets things 'right' on occasion but that's because the 'story' is all over the place, verified and can't be falsified. Even amidst any given bias there's enough to source that gives credible news and the likes of Russia don't have that. In the West, we do.When I was a boy and was taught about journalism and research, we were always told that more sources was always better than just one source.

And, like I say, they are lying to you.I value credible news
I used to watch CNN Headline news back in the 1990s. Just 30 minutes of my precious time and I'd be all caught up on national, international and sports news. Believe it or not they were actually objective back then.I start with CNN, knowing full well they electioneer for Democrats, but that doesn't completely obscure the . . . news. The headlines.

Exactly. The left are the ones who made Fox News necessary. They have no one to blame but themselves for the existence of Fox. If they would have just remained relatively objective Fox News would not exist today. But no. They couldn't restrain themselves. They went full libtard. The natural result was the right clamoring for a counterbalance.But Fox News was only reflecting what had been going on already for a long time in television news, which is that even the most respected news outlets were subtly and secretly and therefore deceptively, electioneering for the Democratic party.
I remember that. I'm just talking about the website. I spend probably 10 minutes all week on CNN, but that's plenty to see if there are any surprising headlines, which is all I'm looking for.I used to watch CNN Headline news back in the 1990s. Just 30 minutes of my precious time and I'd be all caught up on national, international and sports news. Believe it or not they were actually objective back then.
(I don't agree with all your language but) Yes! It was their own fault, they shot themselves in the foot.Exactly. The left are the ones who made Fox News necessary.

But they're "credible lies".And, like I say, they are lying to you.
They are subtil that wayBut they're "credible lies".![]()
Again, that whole discernment thing. Unless you're unhinged enough to think that all journalists and all media reporting consists of lies then it's easy to sift whereby truthful news is being reported. Or hey, maybe there's no such invasion of Ukraine going on and it's all just made up?And, like I say, they are lying to you.
Where do you get your news from?But they're "credible lies".![]()
TOLWhere do you get your news from?
Oh, okay....weird but whatever...
Yeah, we know. You refuse to watch Fox, so you're special.Again, that whole discernment thing.
