No, I asked how you did it. Because you clearly didn't listen to all sides, and you clearly did just cling to whatever story happens to fit your worldview. You were even at the point of lying to defend your worldview

Who leaves out what details to better fit their narrative and who tells the whole thing.

How do you determine what "the whole thing" is?

And sure, that means you’ve got to do some work. Put in some actual critical thought. And yes, lots of people don’t like that just stick to whatever narrative they prefer, or even whatever is fed to them. But looking critically at media is a vital survival skill these days.

Lol, maybe you should try it then.

Blindly accepting known partisan media on the very topic you know they can’t be objective about, is not that.

Then you should stop doing it.
