Q&A: News Information Sources
News Information Sources
Question
Hi,
Where does the Rabbi get his news about the world from? In recent years, after all, it’s easy to see that there is a clear bias in the news, to the point of “reality engineering” (a common expression in my various WhatsApp groups), which is completely different from what is actually happening on the ground.
Does the Rabbi read only “Walla,” “ynet,” and the rest of the established, mainstream media?
Is it proper for a person to investigate further? It’s hard for me in day-to-day life because of how much work I have, but sometimes I find more factual information on “unofficial” content sites.
I’m confused about what to do; I don’t have endless time…..
With blessings and appreciation,
Ya’ara
Answer
I don’t have any algorithms for this. If you look at a few sources (preferably with different outlooks) and use common sense, I assume the errors won’t be very large.
