Regardless of the kind of news. I’m working on a TLDR bot and I’d like it to support the most used sites on Lemmy.

    Should I watch Leni Riefenstahl films too, to help me impartially consider all sides of the issue of genocide before I take my position on it?

    No.

      Actual news of current affairs are not like history, i mean, “Riefenstahl films” is too much.

      Nobody can be impartial, just more or less honest. News outlets represent different interests and you should think of this while getting information, that is all. They try to drag you in what they want you to believe in.

      Any person can follow an issue from two or three opposite sides and track the development of the subject and take a more or less rational position. Refusing even hear arguments from one side could be a mistake.

      I did not say impartial, just rational.
