I’d never encountered MSN news before as I’ve never had a need for it, but I understand peoples problems with it.

You might have heard that from someone who is a conservative, I’ve seen it before here. By US standards I’m a centrist or moderate, and since the pandemic I’m very choosy about where I get my news from and like to corroborate it with sources that are not aligned with each other. Where the dots connect there might be some truth.

After an IT update our company home page has reverted to MSN, which seems to post opinion rather than news. Or to rehash old news from a different commentary angle - but written to be alarmist or informative.

It even dares to presume you need moral guidance, where “journalists” post articles like “things you cannot say to children” or “habits we must not continue” or “things from the 1980s that are unacceptable.”

Really? Who do these media studies graduates think they are to tell us what to think and how to act? Thank goodness MSN can be easily dismissed and forgotten as the worthless tripe it is. The articles seem to be heavily down voted or argued to the bare bones in the comments so I’m surprised it soldiers on its sanctimonious little way.

I have never heard “news” on there. Only opinion.

all the major networks now have a right wing bias That one u mentioned was a bit more mild in doing so but not much...

Its a public-media sellout kind of thing. I say if you want to learn the truth search out independent media and listen for the HUMANITY.

I wont spoon-feed here though. It gets me into trouble every time.

@PleasurePunch No. Just more extreme. Live and let live does not exist over there.

@WintaTheAngle Many people still believe in that, and many know that more HUMANITY is urgently needed everywhere. The corporations are not HUMAN but they seem to control (as well as own) everything. No accident I say. Fighting back for human scale projects...will make a big difference too

@PleasurePunch You sound like you have a plan. How’s that going?
They do seem to have a lot of opinions, rather than actual news stories. I don't like that when a news network does that.

@LordShadowfire It’s concerning the impact they might have on the naive and the easily influenced.

You and I look at what they write and we know it to be trash and we comfortably discard it as such. But there are others who could be induced to be afraid or angry, and that causes problems for us all.
