Just turned on CBC News Network Live and they were talking about how “by far” Melania’s hat is getting the most attention of the day.

I’m so tired of our media. Trump issued at least 26 executive orders, Elon did the nazi salute multiple times, Trump commented on tariffs… but we have to talk about this hat!

For what it’s worth, Wikipedia’s news section seems highly factual and not editorialized. It shouldn’t be this hard to get news though.

    I’m just going to keep venting my thoughts in random comments here.

    I saw a project the other day that used ChatGPT to rate and filter news for you, I thought that sounded cool so I tried it myself. ChatGPT was not able to filter news to recent dates or understand that “domestic” does not mean US.

    I think ChatGPT is a large risk to news because it would be so easy to silently bias the results, plus it’s based by RAG on Bing results from the US and trained on primarily US sources.

    There are a lot of people reporting instagram and facebook censoring topics, most of our news like the Toronto Star are now owned by mill/billionares.

    It’s harder than ever to find unbiased news.

    I personally like The Conversation but they do deep coverage not broad coverage.

    I like the economist too, but they don’t do Canadian news/politics very well. I appreciate that they’re open about their biases though.
