Where do you find out what is happening in the world? With so much information at our fingertips it should be a simple thing to find out what is happening. A google search should provide us with some answers, however results seem to vary from user to user.
Customized search results may yield different articles depending on where you are from, or what type of profile you have. The narratives promoted by what is considered mainstream news sources are pushed to the front, while other important and perhaps not as well known current events may be pushed aside.
Users are force-fed a particular point of view, calculated and coordinated across stations in a way that attempts to control the perspectives being formed. I don't particularly enjoy the surface level and biased analysis that we are spoon fed.

""Some people call it a polycrisis," said Best on the phone this week. "It's like so many crises together: pandemic, war, inflation, you know, the energy impact.""
