Read All the News From All Sides
the truth is that there’s no such thing as a news story without bias. UAE local news , from the choice of words to the decision about what counts as newsworthy, is affected by the prejudices of the journalist and the news outlet. So, if you really want to get a balanced picture of what’s going on in the world and you don’t want someone else to decide for you what stories you should be hearing, the best approach is to treat news as a smorgasbord.
Online news aggregation sites like Google News share articles from multiple news outlets around the world, using algorithms instead of letting humans decide. You can tweak the settings so that you only see political news, for example, or focus on US news rather than international reporting. This way, you’ll be able to find out about all the news worldwide instead of having some stories hidden from your eyes. You’ll still be reading human-written articles which contain some (or more) bias, but instead of getting all of your opinions and facts from one single slant, you’ll be sampling many different takes on the same matter.
Choose Your Agenda
Given the fact that every human being can’t help but feel some bias one way or another, some people insist that it’s impossible to find unbiased news. Since every news article carries the prejudices and agenda of the writer and/or news outlet, it’s best to pick an outlet that has a known bias so that you can correct for it. For example, public perception is that Fox News is right-wing and CNN and NBC are left-wing. The argument goes that because you know that you’re hearing news with an agenda, you can pick out the real news from the slant.
Although, despite their perception as leaning one way or the other politically, various surveys state that major TV news outlets are considered to be mostly trusted news sources by the majority of Americans.
