You can't trust CNN. What you can trust, however, is reddit. :dork:

CNN isn't 'the news' either, they don't have investigative reporters anymore, just scripts.

Reddit is selective stories posted and upvoted by an army of bots to whatever leaning sub you're in. All with spoon fed analysis from your community circle jerk echo chamber.

Anyone who gets their political news through it is a huge twat (memphis).

reddit is super terrible for news. all of the main stream outlets are terrible for news and they're all inherently right wing.

there's no such thing as unbiased news. bias is intrinsic to the very concept of telling a story, which involves decisions about what to include and what to leave out, i.e. biases

you'd be better off thinking critically about whatever you read, wherever it comes from, than go looking for some authentic source of unimpeachable truth you can believe in without question

Yes, but its harder to do that when you get your news from a site that puts the emphasis around the discussion of the news item more than the news itself. Especially when said discussion is neatly compartmentalize into your own echo chamber.

reddit isn't for news, it's for all the shit the news leaves out

Sounds exactly like something a holier than thou ideologue would say. We can all judge you from your year long meme shitfest. You're the embodiment of woman hating pizza gating basement dwelling losers who photoshop memes all day for circle jerk upvotes. Yeah maaaaan like youre soooo woke....you only read the corporate-spawned narrative that your top kek fedora tipping twats upvote your way. Wasn't trumps sub shut down for harassing en masse and gaming the system with upvotes to push topics to the front page? I sure you did your part, comrade.

I think reddit's the most important site on the interwebs. I get all fuzzy inside from r/aww, get a laugh out of r/funny, enjoy the nonsense at r/ShowerThoughts and God bless the poor souls at r/TIFU.

Getting back on point, I have to say that despite Memphis supposedly being red-pilled-woke-up-enlightened and all that, he and his arguments come across like a 6 year old having a hissy fit. Not sure if that comes with the being enlightened and everything. Shaft seems that much more level-headed that I have much more faith in him getting a well balanced healthy news intake than Memphis.

There are tons of normal people and great subreddits. Just none of the ones that you frequent and repost here.
