that people have agendas and outright lie but it is more complex when you listen to people who have the same facts before them yet come to different conclusions about them. In international news it seems to me the main focus always seems to be to paint one side as wrong no matter what and others as either not so wrong or the wronged. There is little attempt at explaining complexity because what news outlets want to do is tell a story. They always have, I don’t think it worse today than in the past, but the story telling is now democratized to such an extent that there is no single place to go to to find out the facts. All you have is opinion.
Opinions are supported by agendas, this is tur, but the story telling going on is no more than an extension of fairytales. We no longer have news.
