Advice needed - boyfriend has almost 3.5 years of finance experience at a bank. Interviewed for PwC valuation senior associate and now recruiter says they want to hire him at “experienced associate” because he has no valuation experience. Is this too big of a step backwards in career? Should he push back and see if it gets him anywhere? If he does accept Associate, is it reasonable to ask for written, definitive timeline (1 year?) for promo to Senior upon meeting standards? Help!

At this point, each candidate has enough demonstrate history that have observed the behavior, words, and policies of both major candidates and their parties.
I find that Trump is not someone that I can relate to meson a social behavioral standpoint. His words I find are unnecessarily strident and vague about the details of how his presidency can/will move America forward. His economic, immigration, national security, world presence, and social policies have proven to be consistent, constructive, and effective.
I find Kamala Harris to be equally unrelatable, but for a very different reason: her presence reflects a person who does not have a True North, a real foundation. She strikes me as someone who is continuously sniffing the air for which breeze to follow for her own advantage. Her words have a deliberate vagueness so she always has the wiggle room to make her words take on whatever contrived message is convenient in the moment. Kamala’s economic, immigration, national security, world presence, and social ideas reflect a sense of desperation du jour.
Excellent observation! I find that regular people are actually more pragmatic and realistic in their views than media. Hence I do ask people I respect their opinion as I always can learn something.
While Politico is left center it is rated high for being factual.
TV outside of Fox News is not “far left leaning” ooomgggg.
Which channel paid a fine of close to a $1M and admitted they are entertainment and NOT news!
X is not far right. It just depends who you follow. And all the mainstream news is slop you have to have the brains to understand all of them have an agenda and are selectively telling you things. If you can’t think for yourself maybe you shouldn’t be voting.
WSJ
Why are we talking about peoples opinions here?
Go straight to the source: AP and Reuters. Additionally, International coverage can be useful.
Al Jazeera

There is no such thing. You have to follow individuals over a period of time and compare what they say/report vs what actaully happened in hindsight. Only MSM reporter I enjoy is David Muir (mostly out of habit - I realize he leans left). I like Glenn Greenwald on X. I like the Breaking Points podcast (mixed bag of left and right). What you’re asking for doesn’t exist, be your own filter.
A lot of you need to touch grass and stop consuming opinion based TV “journalism”. It’s all sensationalized BS designed to keep eyeballs glued to screens, not educate the viewer.
You need to be your own filter and consume media from across the spectrum critically - we live in a world where very little is actually black and white and truth is often in the grey. Most political disagreements come down to compromises between different opposing goals that have value in their own right, but you’re not going to find nuanced consideration of any major issue in the easy to consume news media because most issues are complex / dense and the public is generally lazy (and not highly educated) and would rather watch or read topical coverage in the style of sports journalism / rooting for your team than nuanced and exhaustive coverage of the historical context for current issues and the philosophical trade offs at play.
Personally I try to read the WSJ, economist, politico, NYT and WaPo semi regularly and mostly avoid the opinion pages. If you don’t have time to consume from multiple sources, accounts like Sharon McMahon /sharonsaysso and Jessica Yellin / newsnotnoise do a good job covering how a given issue is being framed by far right or left media without injecting too much personal opinion into the coverage.
There is no unbiased "news." Every major media outlet is bought and paid for by one or the other. You simply have to pick the lesser of the 2 evils. Seems like a pretty simple choice if you look at inflation, prices, and the illegal immigration epidemic of the current overlords.
There are also no unbiased opinions, kinda like your post.
To get the convo started I’ll share what I use:
I get high-level summaries from www (dot) MorningBrew (dot) com but they don't really deep dive on any particular topic or news story - also they are not new/small (think they sold for $75m to Insider - which definitely has a political bias).
A newer one I subscribed to is called www (dot)
ShowBothSides (dot) com but they are super new.
They do a weekly breakdown showing political takes from both sides and try to show which one is closer to the truth - they seem very unbiased - but they only really cover US-related news.
Also www (dot) internationalintrigue (dot) io covers international news great but is a little dry. They make complex topics seem pretty simple.
Open to more recommendations!
You can never get unbiased news or any information when it’s been provided by someone else. The best way of getting to truth is gathering information from opposing sources. The truth is in the cross sections, where both are saying the same thing in their own way. Everything else is bias and personal opinions.
100%. You’d need to actually go to source documents to get real news today (court filings, SEC filings, etc)
Go back 30-40 years?
Fair enough!!
Y’all are conflating news with being informed. You inform yourself by what you see for yourself, not what you are told on the “news”. You can see prices have increased significantly, you can see crime has increased in cities if you live there, you can see migrants living on street corners, you can see Covid was nothing more than the flu, you can see one candidate was anointed without any democratic process, you can see another candidate was attempted to be killed and jailed. Ask yourself why. Vote according to what you see and not what you are told.
Touch grass.
I get all my news from 4chan.
I am glad I speak another language because the news I hear from here and the other country is like observing two different countries. Gives me perspective. I came to conclusion they are all biased big time, here and overseas! Every media outlet literally everywhere on the planet is controlled by some interest. Small independent journalists are basically thing of the past.
Agreed!!!
The app Flipboard has a good mix of news coverage. You’ll still see the Fox articles and CNN but also coverage from abroad/independent sources
Roca news is also a good source for news that actively tries to be non bias
I listen to a Podcast called Unbiased. Jordan is a lawyer that does a really good job of covering facts, not opinions.
Came here to post this.
She’s not the smartest and mispronounces a lot of things (Trafalgar isn’t that hard), but she pisses off both sides for not really expressing an opinion sometimes. She does explain a lot of the legalese in an easy to understand manner.
Listen to presidential debates and draw your own conclusion.
Don't let people feed you their opinions and interpretations.
