I found them misleading just by using basic logic and listening to podcasts that instantly were able to refute the corporate media sources.
The issue with corporate media is that they are directly funded and owned by people with agendas that are not their own. Podcasts can be great, but then also biased, for example anything Ben Shapiro says about Israel is probably wrong.
Podcasts are good because they are typically long form and will literally read the story and then point out what is wrong and who is lying. And after a while you can get tell if the podcaster ever lies to you, and you know their bias.
I’m not sure if you’re using “basic logic” to debunk news sources, or if you’re just rejecting them based on what you already believe. Usually news sources are not “Socrates is a man, all men are mortal.” Most of the time, background knowledge is necessary to fully understand a situation - this is why reporters include interviews. I’m not sure why I would want to take anything Ben Shapiro says at all seriously - his claim to fame is confusing college kids by speaking fast. If you actually listen to what he says, there’s essentially nothing of substance.
I’m curious how you determine which podcasts to listen to. If you are conservative/right leaning, do you listen to podcasts that challenge your views? If you’re willing to explore NPR has excellent content which tends to run fairly neutral, although I imagine you consider it left leaning.
The three stories I mention are; “Guy at CPAC wants theocracy”, “Trump called wife by wrong name”, “Trump says black people like him due to being accused of crimes”, with a bonus still up in the air “Putin definitely killed Navalny, dont ask questions” and a fourth “Israel killed thousand or hundreds of civilians while giving out food”. Two of those you can instantly know they are bullshit, and three you need more info, but logically they dont make sense.
You dont have to trust what someone like ben shapiro has to say, you can listen and judge for yourself. Coincidently enough, earlier yesterday I was listening “Part of the Problem” and they were explaining what Shapiro was wrong about. As far as political podcasts go, I like the part of the problem - Your welcome - Timcast - The poltical Orphanage - Liberty Lockdown - The matt walsh show - Patrick Bet-David - JRE. My opinions are always open to change, and do.
I agree NPR tries to be neutral, but they have a natural bias, if you count that in, they can be interesting.
