The "Breaking News" sections that show up sometimes you could probably zap with uBlock Origin.

- brobinson 3 years agoThere are non-"mainstream" sources which are highly factual and not editorialized. See AP and Reuters. Sadly, their reports are commonly resummarized in a biased/slanted way and used by the MSM. When you see a "Reuters reports that" or "According to a report by the AP", skip the MSM and go directly to the sources.
- stonogo 3 years agoThis is kind of a bizarre summary; I'd consider AP and Reuters to be the mainest possible stream of media.
- brobinson 3 years agoHow so? AP and Reuters don't have their own TV stations or printed services to my knowledge (though they do have online offerings).

This is what people are talking about when they say "MSM", the deranged stuff you find on Fox News and CNN and so on.

- frankzander 3 years agoSee it the other way around ... it's for the peace of mind not to get the every day world wide chaos pumped in your brain even on Youtube when you just want to be distracted by some nice dog or cat content.
- aaaaaaaaata 3 years agoYou don't know the difference between conspiracies and conspiracy theories, and you think you can tell when you're being fed a false line?
