I think I’m more intrigued by topics that are suspiciously absent from BOTH sources.

E.g. it is surprisingly difficult to find any TV news coverage of the wild macroeconomic trends going on with China’s banking and real-estate sector at the moment.

Also: Epstein trial follow-ups; Ghislaine Maxwell living it up after a guilty verdict. Remember when Bill Gates and many other leaders/ politicians were found to have a _paper trail_ of their involvement with Epstein??

Or omissions from both in what they covered.

IIRC, the unfortunately-named IRA won't kick in for four years, only helps people on Medicaid, and makes drug prices worse for other programs. It was clearly written in a way to help big pharma and not the little people. And that ought to piss off any CNN or Fox viewer.

Instead, they show versions of the story to trigger their bases.

I don't think people give a care about China at this point because things are so bad at home. There's really no obvious way that this affects Americans, so why bother talking about it? Plus, the crisis in China has been going on for so long at this point that it's turned into olds.

Same with the other stuff you mentioned: there's nothing really new or interesting with that.

Looking at cnn.com right now, I see stuff like:

> Finnish PM says videos of her 'boisterous' partying shouldn't have been made public

> Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s 2016 plane incident: FBI report reveals new details

I know nothing about the Chinese real estate market, but somehow I feel confident that it will affect more Americans than these two stories combined will.

> Plus, the crisis in China has been going on for so long at this point that it's turned into olds.

So has the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, yet it still makes big news.
