It’s not so much what their interpretation is of the specific article is, it’s more that you might find more information from someone who has info that was left out, or maybe another source that has conflicting information.

Could you show us a few not so biased news sources? I suppose this will also vary wildly by topic. A news outlet might be narrative/propaganda driven on one topic, but not about another.

It’s so much mess (through corporate ties or money) to sort through, it’s hard to trust any of them anymore

Yeah, what a horrible headline lol.

It’s about Facebook allegedly stopping it’s streaming service to keep one of its largest ad revenue customers happy (Netflix), but also that court docs were unsealed in an anti trust suit, and Facebook may have agreements with Spotify and Netflix, to allow them to read users DM’s (no idea why that’s relevant but yeah, fuck Facebook! Lol)

It’s very speculative though and may not be true. Not that it’d surprise me if it were true either though…

🤷 Does anyone here even use Facebook?

Sometimes there’s good discussion though, and it’s good to hear different takes.

Having comments also gives less power to the writer, like could you imagine if we all took Fox News or CNN headlines at face value and didn’t discuss them?

That’s fair, and I’m glad you’re in a part of the world that allows you to express yourself freely.

If being on the stage, dressing different, or playing the drums is something you want to go at, I’d say do it. You won’t know it until you’re in it. There will be some aspects you like, and some you won’t. What you perceive and what actually is, are often different.

I’ve always found that the things I excel at, are the things I’m genuinely interested in. And when I follow those paths for a while, they all have similar lessons. It’s like an all rivers lead to the ocean kinda thing.

Counter intuitively though, I also feel more liberated when I’m disciplined about getting little goals done on those paths. When I follow my exact, in the moment emotions, it usually leads me to addiction and forms of laziness. Just gotta push through the bullshit for a bit lol. “Beauty stems from pain” sort of fits with what I’m saying here. Might not be the same for everyone though, but for the past few years I’ve been excited to get out of bed lol.

Anyways, listen to your heart and you’ll feel full. Good luck!

What do you mean specifically when you say you want to explore yourself more? What would that entail?

“Wild Polio” is almost eradicated, not the polio caused by the oral vaccine lol

Energy producers (one of the largest industries) of all kinds input propaganda into the world about their business - and their business is tied to climate research for public perception. Climate is definitely a manipulated message in one form or another

“Misleading Ads, funding experts, lobbying opinions”

This is also just every large industry/corporation ever

Either they’re not Chinese or they don’t look further than 1 comment deep

This is how I know there’s upvote bots rolling through here.

Who tf on Lemmy commends Facebook…for anything?

My favorite part are the upvoters - the ones who didn’t think twice but saw “yeah fuck anti vaxxers!” and put in zero thought

I’ve even gotten up votes since after you deleted the comment. I swear this place is mostly bots

I think the nut job here is the one calling people nut jobs about a vaccine that doesn’t exist

Weird how none of this is in parts per million

Yeah, it’s not any different than ICE vehicles, people here just love being on the Elon hate train. If it’s related to anything he touches, you’ll mostly only see negative comments be upvoted. Me saying this tends to set some off too so

BRING THE DOWNVOTES, I DRINK YOUR TEARS

If energy becomes cheap, they lose money. If the stock market doesn’t see their profits rise every quarter, they will trade for less.

These major corps think of societal impact only in the monetary/cash flow sense and lobby heavily to support their position.

We’d need to adjust some rules, and educate more people on nuclear power

OpenAi’s majority share holder is Microsoft, and they’ve already given OpenAI billions

I appreciate your awareness of the bias in media groups - sincerely.

I’ll have to give the new legislation a read to see how loose it is before forming hard opinions on it, but I just wanted to highlight where a large cause for concern should be for topics like this.

It’s one of those “out there” types of opinions for sure, but I can see where their sentiment is coming from.

Addiction is just such a broad sweeping term, and most often quite subjective. As well as the frame of mind that an addicted or depressed person would be in, makes it difficult to take what the patient wants at face value and to just go with it.

People are fallible, including our doctors, so we need to ensure the system is set up appropriately, with little to no room for varying interpretations.

If there’s anything massive corporations have taught me, it’s that vague or poorly written laws and regulatory bodies will be exploited if they can be.

OP said “last year” - the Canadian stats I could find were from 2016-2021, which was still 10x the amount of the alleged California stats over a longer duration.

Don’t throw caution to the wind just because some people are throwing in conspiracy theories. This kind of thing absolutely needs public scrutiny and to be watched very carefully.

Here it is from the Gov of Canada. The Canadian side of the stats in that article are correct.
