I'm sorry but I need an example. This is not my daily experience.

Here is an example where different sides end up with a completely different conclusions based on the same information: https://twitter.com/wokal_distance/status/129892365389613056... It’s probably not worthwhile discussing this particular case in HN, but it’s not rare for me to scroll my Facebook feed and see completely different interpretations of the same event.

So you disagree with the root comment. Raw footage is not enough.

You need investigative work by journalists and to trust them even if you disagree.

This twitter thread proves that there is no such thing as an unbiased interpretation of raw footage of that kind.

Narrative based journalism is just a cop out these days. "Oh this report is not in line with my beliefs? must be an agenda."

It's not a cop out, there is obvious and heavy bias, fact selection and omission, across all major news outlets

There is just as much bias in the reader - now they just dismiss everything because it's "an agenda."
