I do believe in science, I think perhaps you have a very biased, or at least limited, view of what “believing in science” means.
There is no way to judge whether or not you are close to some objective view of “unbiased news”. So it is not a worthwhile pursuit.
As others have noted, what is “newsworthy” is an entirely subjective prioritization of events and information. Are four deaths in Riverside news? Are four deaths in Palm Springs? Are both? Are neither? It depends on your subjective priorities, as a consumer, and no single news organization is ever going to achieve universal, subjective, but somehow unbiased news prioritization.
Labeling anyone person or group’s prioritization of information as “truth” is a dubious endeavor. Dubious to the point of being laughable.
