I gotta say, this is particularly extreme with US news channels, it's either right or left but almost no "plain news reporting"
Ofc "plain news reporting" isn't really a thing anymore since it now has to fall on on of either sides depending on how it's written or told I guess
It's just super exhausting to need to read the news like heavy literature

Somehow I don't think they'll win the Nobel Prize for journalism, or literature. :ablobcatbongo:

In response to this post@stux Agreed, trying to first get the objective news(facts; what happened ,where who), without opinions, is very difficult currently.
News unfortunately, especially corporate media news, has regressed into "infotaiment"in order to attract attention and satisfy advertisers for revenues.
And social media platforms, like X and Facebook, have been taken over by fascist owners.
Myself, I first want short form news details and facts, then read or listen to long form pieces for critical analysis.

In response to this post@stux there are a number of new US channels that are excellent:
- 404 media (https://www.404media.co)
- Semafor (https://www.semafor.com)
- Gothamist [local, NYC] (https://gothamist.com)
Just to name a few. Also many valuable new sources are moving to email newsletters or funded RSS feeds. I’ll try to get you some of those.

In response to this post@stux I would contend that all of US news is Corporate News that very much supports their owners first, and for the most part that means topic censorship - Like the Palestinian perspective, or the Pro-Luigi perspective or the impacts of income inequality / concentration of wealth. The goal of this is to ensure people are distracted by culture issues rather than class issues.
And there is no ‘leftist media’ in the US. It is a Fascist Right vs a Center Right. Just the two political parties.
