I'm going to tell the story about what radicalized me against "the news" as a source of useful information that could be trusted.
I had been an avid news reader for a long time, very much about using different tools and aggregators and RSS and stuff to deliver a nonstop stream of what I considered high-quality news sources into my brain.
I'd see people complain about now the news was "biased" or "clickbait" and I just kind of dismissed it.
