I don’t think it’s delusional, I just think there’s no reason to want that. Even “no agenda” is an agenda to someone. My go-to’s tend to be Fox News, RT, and Al Jazeera, although I don’t think Al Jazeera is what it used to be.

I want to hear a variety of perspectives and know what they are. Just the fact of what some consider news is an agenda. If I know what different people’s agendas are then I can differentiate and form my own opinion. Unlike a lot of people it seems like these days, I don’t need other people to agree with me. My perspective is typically so much more nuanced, that it’s not often I’m going to find many people who agree with me anyway. Certainly not the ones spouting the same daily talking points on Facebook.

The only ones I won’t listen to are NPR, CNN, MSNBC, and the British agencies because they are just so smarmy and trying to shove an agenda. I guess their agenda hits a little too close to home for me. Fox News and RT, their agendas are so transparent, it’s just laughable.

But these days, I really only follow financial news because I don’t feel like the other crap really matters to me.
