> In the past people have been harsh to call me ill informed for not being up to date on all things media, but to what end does this actually benefit the individual? My argument is that it’s mostly a detriment given the state of the world.
News like NYT, TWP, WSJ is just partisanship, it isn't something people should take seriously. Even the factual reporting on those sites is selective, they will deliberately leave out certain details in order to reach a political end. At the same time, I still read them to figure out what they're trying to obscure or distract people with, that in itself is interesting and entertaining

Things like AP/reuters or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events are much more reliable for knowing about actual events
