Re: Media Bias
When you wrote "I dont let the narrative control me" ... I thought you finally got it.
I click on Fox news almost every day to check my daily confirmation bias box .. my bias that fox news is bias. Fox News to me and liberals are a train wreck and we check in just to peek in on the funny farm to confirm that "yup right wing conservatives are still hypocrites and bias .. as they scream about how everyone but them are bias".
Fox News never disappoints, they are always on brand all the time.
I never click on CNN or MSNBC.
I get my news form all over, here and reddit and I decide what articles to read to ignore. I read a ton of articles, vast majority are right wing. I want to know what the other side is thinking. But its hard bc you have to cut through all the hannity/Carlson BS to find actual thought out right wing articles that arent just bumper sticker "lock her up" kindergarten mind thinking.
nonniery does a good job of highlighting right wing articles that actually deserve time and thought. I can still walk away disagreeing but at least i read a cogent intelligent view point different from my own.
I control my own narrative. I control what media I read. I control what media I believe.
Honestly, I only give weight to direct quotes and videos at this point.

This is just how I view the "media is the enemy" mantra. Its a sheep slogan. It means to me you cant think or make decisions for yourself.
if you think Fox news is not bias but CNN is ... or vice versa ... you are the bias. Youre a lemming imo.
