“Some have stopped consuming news altogether.”
Wrong. Many have stopped consuming PROPAGANDA altogether.
“That serves the goal of the interests that are pulling our strings.”
No it doesn’t. Those of us who don’t swallow their crap anymore are no longer tied to their strings. We’re liberated.
“News that they dont have to discount because theyre placing odds on the political and corporate interests of the reporters. Yet, we dont hear these desires because were trapped in an echo chamber of our own creation.”
Exactly. But it is precisely because reporters invariably have political and corporate interests (we all do) they can’t be trusted to be totally unbiased. The best way to watch out for our own self interests is to always be aware of the interests and motivations of the messenger, and then judge accordingly. Caveat emptor!
