Well articulated! I wish we could operate in that space more often.

Healthy discourse might get us humans somewhere instead of infighting with our neighbors

It's not so much what their interpretation is of the specific article is, it's more that you might find more information from someone who has info that was left out, or maybe another source that has conflicting information.

Could you show us a few not so biased news sources? I suppose this will also vary wildly by topic. A news outlet might be narrative/propaganda driven on one topic, but not about another.

It's so much mess (through corporate ties or money) to sort through, it's hard to trust any of them anymore

Yeah, what a horrible headline lol.

It's about Facebook allegedly stopping it's streaming service to keep one of its largest ad revenue customers happy (Netflix), but also that court docs were unsealed in an anti trust suit, and Facebook may have agreements with Spotify and Netflix, to allow them to read users DM's (no idea why that's relevant but yeah, fuck Facebook! Lol)

It's very speculative though and may not be true. Not that it'd surprise me if it were true either though..

🤷 Does anyone here even use Facebook?

Sometimes there's good discussion though, and it's good to hear different takes.

Having comments also gives less power to the writer, like could you imagine if we all took Fox News or CNN headlines at face value and didn't discuss them?

This bill is insane - "hate propaganda is raised from 5 years to life imprisonment".

"Hate" is a loose enough term that this government (or a future one) will over step this for sure.

Is putting someone in jail for life even a good way to handle bullying?

Either they're not Chinese or they don't look further than 1 comment deep

My favorite part are the upvoters - the ones who didn't think twice but saw "yeah fuck anti vaxxers!" and put in zero thought

I've even gotten up votes since after you deleted the comment. I swear this place is mostly bots

I think the nut job here is the one calling people nut jobs about a vaccine that doesn't exist
