MODERATORS
Using social media for news has been a bad idea way before the Muskrat had anything to do with it, but sure
Good! Then convince all those companies and celebrities to use some better platform. Until then that's what we have.
There's actual news outlets whose entire thing is sharing properly researched news. Anything else is a crapshoot at best.
Companies and celebrities who use X exclusively, well idk. Sucks, right?
LMAO "properly researched news". What alternative universe do you live in?
Also, where do you think those actual news outlets get their information from? Most of the time it's twitter again.
I never said every news outlet does good work, did I.
Yes, many people who call themselves journalists for some reason don't look further than Twitter, and that's a problem too
Maybe you're better at finding news sources but I laughed because I can't really think of event a decent outlet, let alone one where I'd think they do genuinely good work.
Many people who call themselves journalist nowadays are just literal bots with a tiny bit of editorial oversight.
