I agree.

The lack of information seems to come from a lack of curiosity or sense of inquiry. Or maybe total zealotry. For example, many Leftists thought Kyle Rittenhouse shot three black men.

Yep. It's why I'm more disappointed in NYTimes etc than I am with Fox. I have never ever taken Fox News stories at face value. Nor has anyone I have any respect for.

And yet so many of my lefty friends STILL believe what they read in the NYTimes, WaPo, Guardian, etc is fact. Apparently without so much as a split second thought about bias.

Their reasons differ from person to person, from lack of care or curiosity, to straight up ideological zealotry.

What shits me is how unwilling most are to acknowledge their bias, and how quick they are to assume an alternative narrative came from Tucker Carlson...

So few unbiased people in this world, but on this forum we have the honor to have of those posting. I guess we're blessed.

My son, you are indeed blessed to receive.

Well, they were literally chanting it during BLM, and it wasn't just the rioters. Did you try asking questions during that time?

And as I said, I'm an ex lefty. Most of my friends are lefty. Most of the conversations I have are so predictable I could write out the other persons responses ahead of time.

This thread isn't all that different. I'm either in agreement with everything written in a NYTimes article or I've been watching too much Tucker...

Where did I say I was unbiased? I have a clear bias.

Yes, that's clear. My reply was meant tongue in cheek.

Everyone has a bias. It's just that some are able to acknowledge it, and work actively to prevent it from fogging their world view.
