I amuse myself each morning by scanning the web sites of most US news outfits. They often describe very different worlds out there. The network news sites are the same, mostly, eager reports on the latest Taylor Swift news and of course photos of some babe in a scanty bathing suit somewhere.
I find the "straightest" news sources are the business news channels/outlets, maybe because that's mostly the news of interest to me.
I get an email from the NYT each morning which is free, and at times interesting, often not really. They mangle some things at times of course, often relating to gun crime.
A person who looks only at news he likes is going to live in a different world than someone similar who is on the other side.
