Yeah, not sure when you think the press didn’t have opinion/perspective to suit their readers… always been this way imho.

Read multiple sources and make your own decision; it’ll be biased towards your beliefs but it’s probably be more accurate than just reading the clickbait headlines

records began in 2001... should they not have been monitoring these things a little earlier than that?

Exactly.

Remember, we must bury horrible history as we are far too educated in this modern world for history to repeat itself.

Regardless surely the headline should be “…at highest level since 2001” rather than leaving people to imagine for a moment that Germany has gone full Nazi again.

I'm on hols so just checking nothing important is going on. Clearly not.

Was Phil sacked?

I look at Reuters when I want to read news (rather than just skim headlines).
Dull to read, but the lack of character is the cost of minimising bias and maximising factual accuracy IMHO.

Yeah Reuters and AP are usually pretty reliable. It's what a lot of the other news sites base their stories on.

Yeah I try to access multiple sources and form my own opinions on things. It's the only way really.

The Week is the only news source that I've enjoyed in the long term, largely because it aggregates a well-educated opinion from amongst all the other fluff out there.

I get the majority of my news from here.

Al Jazeera is quite good or the Malta Times.
