That’s fine if you enjoy being manipulated by the media

As fine as I am to exchange half my waking moments for the ability to pay for the other half of my life. Barely.

Can't really avoid "manipulation" without withdrawing entirely from the world it's less important to avoid manipulation than it is to have a good moral compass when evaluating biases. Another decreasing factor of modern humanity.

Idk man the news I consume is really dry. I'm really selective about what sources I use. It's usually just statistics about things.

But yeah go ahead and assume I'm a thoughtless sheep, very condescending of you. Of course your intellect is so superior
