Here's a fun game - try sourcing unbiased news.
There is literally no such thing
then why even ask someone to source a claim that's funded to make it biased when all media is biased?
All media serves the funders and context from which it comes. There is no escaping this, only understanding and compensating
how do you compensate when you believe that all media is biased and all the news is fake?
Biased and fake are entirely different things but it's not easy. The general idea is to get sources outside of your geopolitical context to compare against the sources that have the same biases you were raised with
Well the biases I have growing up are complicated. I don't do well with confrontation and prefer more peaceful paths of diplomacy, and do not like any acts of violence.
Well if you are a native English speaker almost all the media is controlled by the US government in one way or another. Try the outlets that you were always told are propaganda to start
Depends. I usually only watch the news for local stuff, but when they cover nation or international issues I usually like to look more into it
