    I dont mind reading or learning more about politics, but c/politics is just an leftist circle jerk echocamber. There have been a growing amount of users noticing this as well and eventually someone will make an unbaised community for US politics. C/politics is just a infestation of all the crazies that left r/politics.

      I didn’t spend much time there but r/politics always seemed more centrist liberal than leftist to me.

      “unbiased comunity for US politics”

      HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

      You wish, they always get taken over by bipartsian shills. Wether they know it or not, be it themselves or the actuall political campaigners (undercover of course) be it demos or repubs, the only diference being the insane extremist shit they spew out, but the only common thing is “the other side is always wrong and deserves their rights being violated”.

      There is no unbiased news, all news is biased by the views of the author, the culture of the news institution and wider society and the dominant ideologies within the society.

      Now, I’m not saying this is what you meant, but often I hear people requesting unbiased news when really what they’re asking for is news that reflects their internalized ideological perspective.

      It’s also used to suggest that all perspectives have the same inherent value out to suggest that all media must offer the “opposing perspective” alongside the perspective of the authors.

      Not all perspectives do have equal value though, nor do they deserve equal coverage. We don’t call out flat earth whack jobs “to get their perspective” every time NASA announces a new orbital satellite launch, because we recognize that their perspective won’t provide anything of value to the discussion.
