And if you can't trust them, then who?
If there's one thing I've learned recently, it's that you simply can't trust the news.
You can tell that so many mainstream media outlets have an obvious bias, there's no way for them to be a source of reliable, trustworthy information. If there's a news outlet that presents a worldview that is different than your own, all you'll see from them is a bunch of unbelievable nonsense that your brain dismisses at first glance. Outlets with views that match your own aren't much better, with everyone blatantly over exaggerating the good stuff and hiding all the bad. It's dishonest all the way across.
The smaller news outlets aren't much better. They want to be the big boys, so they will say anything to get ahead. ANYTHING. Shady sources? Unverified claims? Water cooler gossip? Emails from realTrumpHonestly@trump.co.ru? You'll find it here, and it sucks.
What are we left with? Individual news shows on social media? Bah. They're all at the mercy of the dreaded algorithms. If they don't keep repeating similar stuff every news cycle, they run the risk of fading into obscurity. There's something oddly sad seeing people who still exist online, but have their most viral years behind them.
So now what? Social Media? Nothing says "this article is the unvarnished truth" more than reading that post your Uncle Bill shared saying that vaccines cause election fraud, or how all the former Presidents of the United States meet up annually to huff baby farts, or that chemtrails enter your brain and make you buy stuff from Shein.
So everything is corrupt, manipulative, repetitive, wrong, or all of the above. Is there anything left?
Of course!
