The people on here are so anti-legacy media, that they all switched over to media that errs in the opposite direction, and therefore remain poorly informed. If you see or hear some news, put in some more effort to make sure it is confirmable, before allowing it to affect your worldview. If the news makes you happy and reassures you that _nothing has changed_ then work extra-hard to confirm it, as that is a sign that it is mere propaganda. You see me posting news that reflects poorly on Germany and the EU, and the same for both the Republicans and the Democrats, and the same for Ukraine and Russia, as well as news that reflects well on them, because I am willing to entertain the idea that: * Nobody is always right. * Nobody is always wrong. * Nobody is perfectly good. * Nobody is perfectly evil. * Things are constantly influx. * The world is full of surprises, and the occasional miracle. Life is complicated. News, also.

I agree. I think often the truth lies somewhere in the middle, and most issues are much more complex than one side being right and the other side wrong. I think it is important to look at news from a range of sources, consider arguments with an open mind, and be willing to change your views with new information.
