It is literally impossible to get unbiased news. Everyone will have their personal beliefs bleed into what they saw/how they recount the event. More so for companies that send people out into the world to gather said news.

There is just more/less transparency on the bias.

at the plasma donation place, one of the screening questions is "have you had a condition with scab formation?" - like, a superficial cut, or a mosquito bite? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

I should note, they said plasma donation, which in the US are usually places that will pay you for the "donation". The blood banks also take plasma donations, but I don't think they will pay. Plasma donation is something that seems to be marketed to people that are just barely getting by. And so people lying about their conditions tend to make more sense, as they are just trying to find ways to make ends meet, or have just a little bit of money to spend after expenses.
