I don’t know if I should change the title to ‘does unbiased media exist?’
I just found out a Washington Post cartoonist quit after a Bezos satire she draw was rejected.
I was until today a reader of said newspaper, but after this kind of censorship I don’t know if I should keep reading it.
Note that I’m not looking for media sources that fabricate outrage either for the left or for the right or news sources whose business model is to editorialize titles to work people up. I’m just looking for unbiased media sources.
Maybe this was a stupid question: everyone is biased, or am I wrong?
Every source has a bias, sometimes what is NOT reported is a stronger signal then what is reported.
I pull news from multiple biased sources and stitch together my own view.
The Economist (USA), BBC (UK), Reuters(UK), Al Jazerra (QAT) , CGTN (china), CNA (SGP) - Gives quite the picture of events, from multiple perspectives!
Remember the Left-Right spectrum is only a very shallow view of the world, its multidimensional politics out there with many different incentives!
Have a check of !news_summary@lemmy.dbzer0.com ive got generated ai summaries of some of those sources. If u got an rss feed u would reccommend i add lmk.
Yeah, I’m subscribed. I like the summaries! It’s a good idea.
I’m not sure if its possible, but can you torture your model to try to generate a one sentence summary as well, kinda like - make a factual headline for this article that is short and succinct!
https://www.economist.com/rss - They do enjoy their paywalls, might need to link to one of the ladders as well, like archive.is
Thats essentially whats gonna go into the daily brief.
Paywalls shouldnt be too much of an issue its already working for nytimes.
This project looks cool, but just a friendly reminder that LLMs can be biased too, so take that into consideration.
In general, any summary is a form of bias - you decide what is important and what can be left out. Relying on summarizes leaves you vulnerable to the summarizer’s own bias - in this case an LLM, which is no innocent of biases.
In my onion, agreeing with Jet here, reading different sources from different countries yourself is probably the best.
Might take more time, but if it’s a story you’re interested in and not something you do because you have to then it’s different.
