Musing over the “news”
A Facebook ad pitching a news aggregator got me thinking about common media grievances. The notion that reading both sides yields objective truth is an illusion—two partisan distortions do not cancel each other out. Nor is wanting ‘just what happened’ realistic in a complex world where we must rely on earned trust and expert context to understand events. Trust is not granted merely because an outlet claims neutrality, and it certainly is not found in an online pitch promising a shortcut to absolute truth. Take those promises with salt.
