One thing I can suggest is to switch to business news instead. Business news is more inclined to give all the facts rather than give an opinion on things. Also looking at things from a business perspective is usually much more neutral and you learn a lot more. Regardless of this you shouldn't be consuming news on TV anyway.This article isn't new though. Similar articles have been posted in HN since 2010s.
Just look at your news channels...
but what's the point of watching news? why bother?
I thought this was about the news channel.
How is nightly news critical? Worst case, watch it 20 minutes later instead?
they do that in tv news too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGIYU2Xznb4&t=0m29s (they do that on both sides of the aisle, btw)
Yeah people should stop watching the "news" it's on the same level as tiktok.
Cable news has an exaggerated influence. Nobody watches that crap. The real action happens in other mediums.
That sounds like an issue with the evening news to me.
Watch the news and solve problems they can't seem to solve.
