I’m a conservative. I don’t mind the liberal stuff here. It’s good to learn the other side, but I don’t want a liberal echo chamber. I’d like to be more politically balanced in the fediverse. Is there any way I can do that?

    the Internet as a whole has more liberals than conservatives

    Because Conservatives don’t know how to use the internet or change the channel away from fox

      I don’t like fox or cnn. They’re both corrupt. I prefer to get my news through youtube. I search for experts on a certain topic explaining the issue. During covid I watched a lot of doctors explaining covid on YouTube.

        YouTube is not a news source my friend. A lot of the “experts” you’ll find on there have zero credibility.

        Saying “I get news from YouTube” is like saying “I get news from the television”. It matters what channel you’re on.

        What direction do you think fox is biased towards? What direction do you think cnn is biased towards?

          It’s worse than getting news from TV. TV doesn’t have an algorithm feeding you Right wing propaganda like YouTube pushes.
