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?

Id be surprised if all admins of every instance that's federated with Lemmy are all on the same page, let alone looking for narrative driven bots.

I see "Ukrainian combat footage" with hundreds of upvotes and no comments, there was also an article speaking positively about facebook that had lots of upvotes and no comments (it's in my history of you look, because I commented lol) - those look like red flags to me

Hah! yeah

How does Microsoft always fly under the radar?

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

That'll be $400 for the privilege...
