> The media exists so that the narrative can be owned, manipulated

Thats also true for anyone else who is not part of the media.

> All news is fake. It's purely a matter of degrees.

That does not lead to the conclusion that other sources are right.

There are no other sources. Information you get isn't divided into "news" and "not-news", even if you divide it that way in your head. An article in a blog is just as much news as an article in the NYT. Or for that matter, one of the NYT blogs...

That's silly. There's plenty of information that's not news. Have you heard of history?

Not at all. It's pretty hard to be objectively truthful. Even if one achieves it the bias filters of the reader will Colour it somehow anyways. In any case truly objective news would be very drab to read indeed.
