I read headlines and then attempt to think through why I’m being presented this specific information/narrative at this specific time.
This is a costly & inefficient method, but it gets me closer to truth than attempting to triangulate between different sources.
Unfortunately, have to look at both sides and come up with something in the middle. Most of the time just have to avoid altogether
Truth is not necessarily in the middle. It can be, but it can also be found on either side politically.
Agreed... But the way reporting is these days, it's more often in the middle than on either side. With exceptions on harming children(trans movement). But both sides are just trying to play/report to their side.
@“The truth is somewhere in the middle” is an absolutely abysmal heuristic.
I never said truth was in the middle...I said what's being reported on is usually somewhere in the middle. There's a big difference.
Sorry, feel the need to clarify. Truth itself is objective. News is mostly not anymore. In terms of discerning news nowadays it feels like you have to read both sides and find the middle because both sides have blatant bias. That doesn't mean they don't get it right every once in awhile...I just meant in terms of discerning the news.
Truth itself has a basis in reality, and objective fact.
I hope this clarifies my position
