This fucking article, man. Can it be a bit more biased, please, I'm worried it's a bit too objective.
...Reddit’s The_Donald community—the internet’s premiere hive of trolls and hate-filled creeps...
As it turns out, people who spend their free time being assholes on the internet have a vested interest in internet-related privacy...
This comes from a Daily Dot piece that risked taking a glimpse into the dark void that is The_Donald...
Considering that Trump has never acted in the interest of others in his entire life, the odds of that happening are about as slim as him actually releasing his tax returns or admitting that his entire presidency is a scheme to make money.
I mean, it's not like they're entirely wrong, but can we at least pretend we are trying to give a balanced view of things?
It actually makes me wonder what the primary goal of news organizations is these days. I mean, it's obviously to make money, but how do they go about those ends? Do they attempt to inform individuals about the news in a neutral and fair way? Or do they appeal to particular groups they know will agree with their own personal views, and so write things in a clearly biased way. I think it's clear most news organizations operate with the latter at least some of the time, but attempting to quantify all that is hard; and which groups actually do want to be as non-biased as they can?

Makes distinguishing truth from lies hard. Or one line in a blog post I read also summed it up nicely: ["A question many of us should be asking: do I believe in lies?"](http://scholars-stage.blogspot.com/2016/11/the-time-has-come-to-give-lie.html)
EDIT: Had to change a word.
