Ok, sure. But I'll also say this. I don't know anyone who watches multiple news outlets. I also don't know of any singular news source that's accurate and unbiased.

What I found used to work for getting the bigger picture is going on reddit's news subs.

Thousands of people, all posting from various sources, with a comments section that isn't biased towards one direction (though they do lean more left historically, but not always).

Then I got banned from reddit by a bot that never made sense, as the comments I was banned for weren't even controversial.

And Lemmy just doesn't have the pure numbers to do that sort of thing. Which is sad, because being decentralized is the whole point here.

The end result is, I feel my news is incomplete, and often untrustworthy.

So yes, those people chose the wrong source for news. But at the same time, there really isn't a decent singular source either.

You should check out GROUND News if you haven't. Its a great way to a get an overview of all the various biases in different sources reporting on the same news.

No comment sections, but I've actually come to appreciate that

I've been meaning to try Ground News. Apparently it shows multiple sources for each story, as well as indicating bias in each source. It is a paid service, though....
