Well informed people read a variety of news sources. Parochial people who merely want their bias to be reconfirmed stick to single sources.

“Well informed people read a variety of news sources”

That’s adorable.

But I don’t care to get “news” from leftist sources as some attempt to fake being “well-rounded”. It’s like saying you read coloring books because you want to balance out all of that 19th century classics that make you biased to actual writing.

“well informed”. That’s a laugh.

Excellent point. I agree totally. You must assume every article is biased, right or left, and sift through them with that prism. The current media could and (probably have) written a story about how racist and evil Jesus Christ was. As long as you understand who wrote the articles and why then that is OK. Too many people get their feelings hurt when they read the opposition’s point of view. Recognize it for what it is. If you are that solid in your own viewpoint, then it won’t change your views - you wil neverchange theirs..
