Read the primary article or dive into the live Hacker News thread when you're ready.
At least with Fox you know where they stand and you know you need to verify your source all the time. It's way better like that.
Other media companies are very subtle, so much that you almost never feel the need to verify. And when you actually take the time to verify it, you are like WTF.
I will never ever forget how the 2015 "refugees crisis" was being sold in Germany in the "very neutral" and "our job is to share facts, not to tell you how to think" media. But I have other countless examples. The most recent examples are about how "bad Trump" is.
I don't see any solution to this, except for "always take the time to verify/compare it on your own". Don't let others do that job for you.
It was not just one mistake, it was systematic bias over many, many different issues over time.
Telegraph published entire report https://archive.is/mJIsB
Which was such a deranged claim to go without any substantiation, evidence or further sources, that I loved again at the publisher and remembered why nobody takes Telegraph stories seriously.
