News media does not inform, it purposefully misinforms. You are being shaped by the media. You are the malleable one.
The line between opinion and actual reporting is gone. It no longer exists. All reporting is activism.
Read books to be informed. Specifically the books that have stood the test of time and shaped history.
Our media is owned by the most powerful people in the world. You are conceding your most critical faculties, the power to think for yourself, to the most powerful people in the world.
And they've gaslit you into believing that the exact opposite is true.
It doesn't matter how it is done, just that it is done. You can't extract bias only from how the news is created; one must merely read the news to detect bias. Even the NYT news section is littered with activism and bias. Which isn't to the mention the total lack of clarity between what is and is not opinion in the vast majority of papers.
Media-types live in an echo chamber that distorts their reality. Over time, the echos grow stronger and stronger, but those in the media still believe them; while those outside of the media see an ever escalating cacophony of noise.
