People who rely on major news aggregators like News, Bing News and Yahoo! News for their political news are being ensconced inside filter bubbles, and this drives greater polarization, division and dysfunction in society overall. Filter bubbles occur when someone is exposed only to one-perspective, or only to news that confirms his or her existing beliefs. repeatedly shows that when people only see one side, they become less tolerant of people and ideas that are different then they are. We, as a society, grow more divided and less accepting of each other. Multiple analyses have found that major news aggregators are heavily biased.

Newsweak doesn't include itself in fueling polarization. They never wrote a positive artilcle on DJT and never wrote a bad one for poopy-pants the retard.

Newsweek, Oh Please! You are a little late to the party to start confessing your own sins. And why should anyone start to believe you now? However true it might be that reading one-sided news fuels division, I'd suggest you first stop with YOUR lying and then I'll consider reading Newsweek again.

My theory is: The second thing that the left kills (assuming you survive their abortions) is introspection and the ability to grasp irony. (the first thing they kill is the sense of humor). That NewSpeak Newsweek excludes themselves from their list is more evidence that my theory is correct.

I only use News aggregator sites...Lucienne.com, Ace of Spades, not even Drudge anymore. They are the ONLY places that will lead me to the "Not the Major" news articles, void of the sports/entertainment /celebrity crapola that I have zero interest in. Major plus factor, the discussion/debate aspects wherein often "The Rest of the Story" comes to light. I was banned from ALL social media after the 2020 election, but not for election stuff, I dared to posit that the Kenosha Kid had only fired in self defense, that was enough for Fazbuk/insta/twit, redit, you name it to all block/ban me within a week. Facebuk took down every page my name was attached to, even just as a moderator, sailing, fishing, hunting, dogtraining, woodworking, travel, highschool reunion? No matter they removed them all.

Lucianne and Whatfinger are two aggregators I use. Left Drudge years ago. I also have a Yahoo email address and they have started sending me their (biased) stories without my permission. Anybody know how to unsubscribe?

Yahoo headlines are obviously written by brainwashed, lefty brats, who tell the reader what they think of their subject. I don't read any of them, as I decide what I think, not Yahoo. Yahoo is a huge embarrassment to Verizon, who paid a dollar for them.

I realized a long time ago that the total news feed is like a fire-hose stream. You can read all the news just as easily as drinking all the water from a fire hose. So... where to start? Where to read? What part of the firehose stream do you care to drink? I long ago abandoned ABC/NBC/CBS/NPR/NYSlymes/WaPooPoo. I took one look at Google and Yahoo and turned away. The articles just... did not agree with the facts, where I knew the facts. I find that Lucianne, with it's many contributors, to have the best mixture of articles that I have found so far, and the L-dotter's comments are usually very good. None of the tat-for-tat insults (the first word should have an 'i', but Lucianne's computer said 'NO!') that infect so many of the other comment streams. I also skim 'Citizen Free Press' and 'Whatfinger.com', although being controlled by either one or a very few conservative people, they have a more conservative viewpoint. Many of the stories that they cover are condemned in the 'mainstream media' crowd...... but then, months later, turn out to be true. Examples that immediately come to mind are the Hunter Biden Laptop story, and a plethora of stories about the (in)effectiveness of masks, the successful use of hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin to treat the early version of Covid, stories on the origin of the Covid.

A recent lawsuit is petitioning The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to publicly release Prince Harry’s immigration records after the Duke of Sussex admitted to illegally using drugs, namely cocaine, psychedelics, and marijuana, in his memoir Spare. In a release, the organization suing the DHS — the conservative Heritage Foundation — said Harry either “lied on the application and DHS needs to address that,” or “he told the truth and DHS granted him an exception.” If Harry did lie, can we really blame him? The Biden Administration has made it clear to the world that American immigration laws and border security are not a priority. Since Biden took office, America has experienced

The FBI has been sitting on a report detailing a scheme involving then-Vice President Joseph R. Biden to accept money in exchange for policy decisions on behalf of a “foreign national,” two senior Republicans said Wednesday. Sen. Charles E. Grassley, Iowa Republican, and Rep. James Comer, Kentucky Republican, said their information was “highly credible” and came from whistleblowers who pointed to a confidential human source report that the FBI has had for several years. They did not say when the alleged dealing occurred nor what country was involved.
Disney Blocks Access to Premier Military Resort 18 replies

Shortly after announcing it is suing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Disney blocked pedestrian access to and from the U.S. Armed Forces’ flagship resort in the continental United States. The decision to do so further demonstrates that the Disney of 2023 is not the Disney of 1971 (when Walt Disney World opened) or the Disney of 1955 (when Disneyland did so). Unlike modern Disney’s previous questionable actions, however, this one comes directly at the expense of U.S. military families and veterans—and needlessly and senselessly so. Moreover, the action is tied to the Reedy Creek Improvement District, over which DeSantis, the Florida legislature, and Disney have been battling.
