Oddbean new post about login | logout "Journalism" from biased reporters who are cheerleaders for the topic are a danger as well, not only for distortion of truth but also for personal agenda.
It's much better to have access to multiple views from biased reporters than a single truth from the ministry of truth.
For sure. There's no ministry of truth in the first world, only in dystopian fantasy, as a warning. If anyone has manipulated online media, it was brief attempts that didn't last. But biased reporting is not the whole truth. The more reputable reporting is filtered to the top. Unreliable subject matter bloggers / vlogger influencers and their sycophantic fans can be ignored by discerning viewers. There's a lot more to say but I need to drink my latte.
