So many people just want to group other people into a group. Divide and conquer. You're either with me or against me.

The problem I have with so-called "news" today is how difficult and time-consuming it is for me to parse truthful and unbiased information and facts from the garbage spewing out of the mouths of the talking heads on TV. Reuters is one of the few I feel like I can go to when I'm feeling lazy about my news intake - and even that still requires reading dammit.

Another major beef I have is that some stuff simply isn't reported by a media outlet because it doesn't cater to their audience. It happens on both sides of the political spectrum, so I have to pay attention to both sides' news reporting.

As a result, there appear to be three distinct methods that people use to imbibe news these days:
A few just bury their head in the sand and ignore everything they can.
A slightly larger number take the time to indulge multiple perspectives and make an educated decision for themselves.
And the majority parse the information that suits their own perspective and world view because it's easy and they are too lazy to give a F.
