Rishi Sunak - Look me in the eye on 09:50 - Feb 15 by Scotia
No.
Precisely.
That’s because you understand that the government of the time will have a slant and it’s always obvious what that slant will be. You can then interpret accordingly.
Exactly the same with proper media outlets - you know what slant the guardian or the telegraph will have.
As an aside, quick quiz question. Who coined the term ‘the mainstream media.’?

Nobody knows? Mary Wollstonecraft? Certainly not Rockefeller...

Happy to be proved wrong, but I read that it was first used by Joseph Goebbles.
The context was “don’t listen to their news - they’re lying to you. Listen to ours.”.
As I say, I could be wrong. In any way, someone who uses the term MSM in a derogatory way would s a good barometer to pointing out a nutter.
I think you have to be balanced.
Anyone who believes everything they're told by the BBC or similar these days needs their head read, but that's no reason to take whatever is being spouted by various "alternative" sources as Gospel either. The BBC has been utterly discredited lately, but no more so than some of the Youtube loonies quoted chapter and verse in some quarters.
Get your news from a variety of sources and make your own mind up.
Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

There is selective reporting, ignoring stories that don't fit an agenda, together with large amounts of bias across all media these days. I am amazed by the differences between left and right wing media it seems like different worlds. The BBC is losing its way, listening to programmes like Today and PM on Radio 4 you have to question some of the editorial choices,the huge amount of opinion and the basis of questions asked by the presenters. Politics now dominates these programmes as if nothing else matters.

You do indeed.
All sources are biased to a certain extent, some far more than others.
Read a variety of sources, question everything, consider the sources of the comments and read the original source documents.
