Reminder that Ground news exists entirely to push a “both sides” narrative in a world where right wing media openly seeks to push “alternative facts” and big lies.
Well, yes, I have a similar view of anything that makes politics into a balance between “left” and “right”. Even to treat them as two ends of the same line overly elevates the right, which is just a bunch of base impulses, toxic personality defects, resentments, lies and scams dressed up as a political ideology. So I agree with your point and I don’t treat Ground News as a map of truth, but I do find it handy for getting a quick overview of what many news websites are saying and how the right is spinning things.
Know your enemy. I feel like your chances of helping deprogram someone are higher if you know what bullshit they’re being fed. Then again I’m batting zero so who knows
