Not watching news and being uninformed is not the answer IMO, unfortunately you just have to be a lot more selective now than ever before. Ironically most people are more selective now, BUT too many deliberately or unwittingly select biased news sources. I never watch CNN, MSNBC, Fox News or similar. There’s only one TV news source we watch regularly, and a couple YouTube channels - though there are way more blatantly biased “news” channels on YouTube than mainstream TV now.
It’s a very serious sad situation, we’ve never had more misinformed, divided citizens than we have today - and more militant minded people. If viewers really wanted more fair and balanced news, we’d have more of it - most people want to hear their tribes spin on the news, to be told what to think, to have what they already believe reinforced. They never seek out other points of view, or they’d know better…
