In all honesty, I try to avoid the news as much as possible. I say this because every time I look at the news and see how broken our world is, I feel a sense of sadness and a little depression. But if I do look at the news, it is mainly for sports. Sports, particularly baseball, is the one subject of interest that I love to monitor on a regular basis, looking for any interesting free agent signings, trades, or any other transactions or feats that are worth sharing. On the national and international level, I follow different sports teams, mainly here in the United States. Same holds true for the state and local levels as well. The only news I tend to follow for my city is how our hometown baseball team does during the summer. I typically find these articles and postings on Facebook. But if I felt so inclined to visit a news website, I tend to visit Newsmax, because it is the only news source that I can find that is non-biased, which is something that is refreshing to see. If I want to find this site, I typically search for it on Google, or I can type out the link to the website, and it will take me there. In terms of AI, I typically use it to give me ideas for inspiration on assignments if it asks me to be creative. I also use AI if I want to mess around and create hilarious-looking images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When consuming news, I tend to skim over the text, unless something interests me. I mainly watch videos of the story unfolding and look at the photos associated with the story. I do not usually listen to the audio reports, however. At the end of stories, depending on the news outlet, there is a question at the bottom with multiple choices attributed to the question. I typically do not bother with it, as I am worried that if I do click on my opinion, it will somehow obtain my information and use it against me. I am not sure why I feel this way, but that is just how I am sometimes. Watching videos of the story as it unfolded or is unfolding is how I like to consume my news, because I can follow along a lot better while listening to someone talk about the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have left comments on news stories, but made sure that I did not get my personal opinions and biases mixed with it. Other than that, I do not typically leave comments. In terms of social media, the place that I sometimes get my news from is Facebook, but mainly for sports. In terms of memes and politics, I tend to use X. But if it is strictly for politics, I use Truth Social because like X and Newsmax, you can\u2019t be censored for whatever bias you have. I do not listen to many podcasts, nor read that many blogs. If I have a feeling that a story seems a little suspicious, I do my homework, and make sure that what I am reading is truthful and accurate and not filled with the writer\u2019s personal biases. If it is, I will click off away from it immediately. I have had a few instances where I thought a story seemed very real, only for it to be fake all along. I do not remember a specific point in time when this occurred, but I do know that it has happened.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
