The average person can't dedicate themselves to the proper amount of resources to keep up with today's news cycle, so it's practically impossible to find objectivity. Even if one could find objective news sources (which they can't), they are still beholden to their own, preexisting world view, which is how one interprets all new data. Our value system, which has been largely shaped through our life experiences, is the primary mechanism by which we make political decision. If you aren't aware of the biases in your news sources, this value system becomes easily manipulated by the powers that be. Even if you think you are entirely objective, that is undermined by everything out there that you DON'T know, which cycles me back to the opening line of this paragraph. The mistake most people make is that they are objective, when this is certainly not the case.
