When I said to get news from Internet, I didn't meant to get them from Google News
You can find sources that fit your needs and beliefs.
Well, Google News was just an example.
Yes, my favorite is a website specializing in markets and economy (numbers often say more than words), it's mostly free, the degree of junk is less than average, the comments section is lively and often more informative than the articles.
Opinions completely squeezing out facts. Sounds like a bright future.
That's how it is though, every news source presents information in accordance with its political positions. It's very hard to come up with objective news when the field is subjective by nature. The only place where objective truths can/should be found is science.

Perfectly stated.

Highly problematic, in fact sounds like just another attempt at dogmatic propaganda, like everybody else's.
You see, it depends on what you mean by "science". Even "scientists" compete among themselves for resources for personal use and they use propaganda to push their "science" at the expense of someone else's.
In the end, "truth", a mere human concept, is personal experience.
Fact is, there is no consensus on how to deal with these "terrorist" attacks, in fact there are powerful people who gain from the business.

Good Luck!
I don't disagree, it is hard to present science in an objective matter when you have a lot of competing theories out there. However, I do believe that competition in science is healthy as long as it stays apolitical. It is also the one broad field where objective truths can be found; things like math are accepted globally regardless of where one is from. It becomes more complicated when we take into consideration more complex theories like the nature of dark matter/energy, the Multiverse or the like.
Considering that every news source holds its own biases, not really.
Can someone please explain this to me? I'm in my twenties so perhaps from your statement, i'm the worst victim in all this who doesn't realize the propaganda they're being subjected to but watching BBC World News, CNN local and CNN International, I fail to see the overt biases but just OCD news reporting.
I definitely believe you when it comes to RT (Russia Today), now ironically, it's a 'schizophrenic' show in the sense that it constantly has Pro-Russia/Anti-American messages mixed in with revealing legitimate conspiracies that Western media refuses to show.
I think these news organisations have 'orgasms' when terrorist attacks happen. I can see how journalists who get paid try to make the best stories at the metaphorical price of facts.

I'm also in my twenties so age is definitely not the main factor. No doubt that BBC, CNN and the like are better than Russia Today or Fox News but they still present news in accordance with their views, like BBC with their anti-Brexit stance or CNN with their anti Trump position. Now I'm not saying I disagree with them on those points, though Brexit is more ambiguous, but they find fault with absolutely everything.
Every source of news needs to be taken with a grain of salt, but that's because history and politics are subjective in their very nature.
