News is literally a story we tell each other to reinforce beliefs about the world.

Truth has no relation to news and news is not about observation of fact.

Even if you witness events yourself, your understanding of what occurred is a narrative you tell, not truth.

All truths and history are interpretations within religious (or ideological) frameworks. Truth as we use the word is not attainable.

There are no exceptions to this!

> All truths and history are interpretations within religious (or ideological) frameworks. Truth as we use the word is not attainable.

Is this statement in the set of "all truths ... within religious (or ideological) frameworks" or is it an exception, as it were, to the rule?

"A lie is a truth that you just don't believe in" - Conan O'Brien

Many are interpretations of what happened. take the covid - pericarditis link. is it that the fda is investigating reports of slightly elevated rare side effect? or is it that the vaccine may be more harmful to kids than the virus but the government is forcing you to take it anyways. both are actual headlines. One is ideological reinforcement masquerading as news — that’s what op was getting at. Watch enough of that stuff and the real world will become ever more difficult to see.

>News is made up of things that literally happened and often have video proof.

In an ideal situation maybe, but very frequently it is manipulation. Videos are taken out of context or outright modified to fit a narrative. When you watch the complete video it is very often different than the 10 second clip shown on the so called news.

> Religion is made up of things that did not happen and have no evidence

Do you believe everything in the Bible is false or just certain parts? If you believe certain parts are accurate then I don't see how it is any different than news in your view.
