When the news is "balanced" in an unbalanced world, it becomes an instrument of deception. This has made producing the news extremely difficult in an era of mass delusions and hyper-polarization.
Uncomfortable as it may be, there is a truth to everything and you can find it if you look hard enough, the problem is the truth is often horribly depressing and no one wants to watch/read it (ratings/clicks go down), or the truth is inconvenient to the powers that be, so it never makes it in the first place. Then any time you bring up a serious problem to people they say some dumb shit like ‘You must be fun at parties’. Well, I am, because I’m capable of having more than one mode.
