Twitter, now X, was once a useful site for breaking news. The Baltimore bridge collapse shows those days are long gone.

    Lemmy is massively biased though. While that doesn’t mean the articles aren’t factual, you’re still only ever hearing one side of the story. What I find time after time is that majority of people who have strong opinions about current events are completely uncapable of fairly steelmanning the opposing side’s argument.

      Agreed.

      Lemmy, you are biased. You probably don’t intend to be, but it’s true for now.

      Going to sound weird, but I came here because of who I knew the vocal people were. I didn’t understand many of their view points and reasons for being mad/hateful/etc. I am much more enlightened now and learn different perspectives everyday.

      It is a giant echo chamber though if you are already very rooted in the spectrum here, and voicing decent usually leads to dog pile.

      This is related to attitudes about news, politics, etc.

      I’m not sure why you think that news orgs aren’t also biased. Everything and everyone is biased, even those that genuinely try to not let it show through and be fully impartial.
