Oh, well that's an easy problem to fix, seek out misinformation and you'll get to the bottom of things. And...yeah they collude, you think what? You think there's votes for the Oscars? Like they print ballots, and people go to a get-together with little little foods, and sparkling wine, then they say OK these are the rules, nobody gets to look to the sides at the other votes, it's all secret, then they say some other rules, and one about harassment...then they have pens, right? Or you can use a pencil and erase if you change your mind, but they're not sure if that's good for the integrity...I don't know I guess maybe there's some winks and nudges, just like on this site there's precautions on voting rings, but there's some people beating the system...there's a whole game of cat and mouse, and...OK you know it's just horse trading, there's no merit. Like Oh you want feel-good-movie-of-the-year status to stamp on your blue-ray? There doesn't have to be only one, there's been three some years, it's not the Olympic gold. But you gotta give me best actor, it's key, without that I we can't arrange with Paramount, and you know you owe them, you know you owe them, that they swap best picture for what I want, and you know what that is. Making it up, but how else can it go, you think the foreign press (what are those, foreign correspondents, these days really? Foreign newspapers pay to have correspondents in USA instead of getting it from a blog?) like start little revolutions? Like the State Department, they'll do revolutions in LA to shake up the movie industry and help the good movies win, like...
Like what do you expect, how many players do you expect in the information market? You know what I do, this is my idea, just pay taxes, shut up and pay taxes, because then the state has its own local news sources, lots of them, like police gazettes those are a good one, and like different government agencies have blogs, hey they don't have the funding for this...yet, but they could buy some spectrum and reach more people through talk radio. Government sources have helped me, for real in real life, in startups, like by looking up authoritative information in Japanese, this was a trade office, or by finding out what type of seeds can be imported for wasabi seedlings, without cookies or spam, upselling, emails about how their terms of service are changing clearly just want to be fresh in our thoughts when a buying decision comes up, or like meaningless database updates, like I wouldn't read Heroku database updates if they told me my great-grandmother was a vegetable attached to that database, by all means pull the plug. When the government does something, I guess it has to be a benevolent government, that hasn't come up for me yet, but after forgiving their flaws...they forgive yours. Tons of the time they can't do anything for you, but they tell you, companies never say "no we can't help you in the least, stop trying," they always want you to bite some lure. Like which are the really idealistic companies...Mullvad...Apple so-so, they live for their market cap so now Apple stuff rots pretty quickly...so just those two, they let you access sources from far away, sometimes only locally available geofenced stuff.
But the biggest thing to do to get news from more different sources is learn to read new languages. That's when you really get more sources...Google translate helps too. On top of that? Decide who your country's worst enemy is and go read their propaganda. Always has gems you can easily verify, that your country tried burying.
