All information is biased.
Each piece of information you consume is filtered by the bias of the relaying party. The more parties that filter information before it reaches you, the more bias is introduced.
The closer you can get to the original source of information, the less bias that will exist. Thus, the least biased assessments will usually come from direct personal experience.
And yet, personal experience is still biased, because past interactions shape your perception of current experiences. In other words, you and I could witness the exact same event but come away with completely different meanings because our distinct past experiences cause us to distill the same event differently.
Your past experiences create personal biases and establish your worldview. You use this worldview to accept or reject the validity of new information, which further reinforces your biases.
Do you think CNN presents unbiased reporting while Fox is just entertainment packaged as news? Do you think Fox is fair and balanced while CNN promotes a liberal agenda? Many people fall into one of those mindsets - both are right. And both are wrong. You could try to argue which news source is more accurate, but you’d be foolish to assume that either source was unbiased.
Total objectivity is a fallacy.
Once you can accept this fact, the choice is then yours to determine how to distill the information you consume.
