I don't understand why someone would hate that they show both sides? Like, I'm not a centrist or right winger by any means, but it's good to get out of the echo chamber sometimes. Everyone needs to be more critical of the media they consume and realize that not everyone thinks the same way they do. I don't agree with the way the right reports on things, but I want to at least know what I'm not hearing that other people are.

If more people read more news sources, we wouldn't still have people spouting that "transgenic/transgender" mixup

That's a very healthy mindset to have. Too many people happily lock themselves into many bubbles/echo chambers and they lose all perspective. Just because you discuss topics with people doesn'tean you have to agree with them. It's still important to know what other views exist out there.

I wish more people were like you.

I haven't used it, mainly because I suspect they're very caught up in the political landscape of the US. I don't know what to do with a scale that only goes from "you may have some civil liberties as a treat, but only if they don't affect stock prices" to "if you're not a rich white hetero man I don't care if you live or die"
