I honestly ask.... as the question boils down to where do you get your news and why they can or cannot be trusted? My son claims that Reddit is the only place he goes for real news... My rule of thumb is Mainstream is supposed to have more oversight, but you always should trust, but verify the source with other sources that have some credibility and oversight. A regular poster here who regularly barfs out Q-Anon conspiracies earlier in the year claimed that India was not being affected by Covid. His proof? He posted a Tweet with a chart from a sketchy feed run by an org started by an ex-con that went on to say how India had combatted the Covid virus using multivitamins. Of course India became a pandemic *****-show with burning bodies and corpses getting dumped into the Ganges river a few months later for their lax policies and response to the virus. The point is that sketchy sites with little editorial oversight are not the high watermark for truth and objectivity in reporting. Folks just have to have a bit more going on upstairs and be more critical of content even if it sounds like something that could support their shaky positions on topics.

As I have pointed out WAPO and NYT have stated repeatedly 1.75 trillion is more than 1.9 trillion, so the mainstream media is terrible also. You need to check both sides unfortunately and there is not any source that is free of some BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was whether they trusted the media to present unbiased articles. the breakdown in recent polls are: 73% of Democrats trusted the MSM to not have an agenda. 42% of Independants 10% of Republicans. Probably because conservatives are more informed than liberals and can more easily spot the lies. 58% (everyone) believe that the mainstream media is biased. 56% (everyone) believe that the mainstream media blatantly lies to push an agenda.

B-Man Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Russian activist Garry Kasparov blasts NBC's Putin interview: 'A humiliation for an American network' by Brandon Gillespie Russian political activist and former world chess champion Garry Kasparov slammed NBC over its Friday interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin, calling it "a humiliation for an American network." Appearing Wednesday on "Fox & Friends," Kasparov argued it was "a shame" NBC elevated Putin and gave him a platform without asking him tough question. He added that the Russian president "got what he wanted" prior to appearing on the world stage at the Geneva summit with President Biden. "This interview was just a shame, because if you have this chance, talking to [a] Russian dictator, you have to ask some tough questions, and it seems that everything had been agreed upon," Kasparov said after host Brian Kilmeade stated that Putin "loved" the way he came off in the interview. "It's also a humiliation for an American network to present itself as a platform for [a] dictator, and we all could see Putin now just beaming with joy because he got what he wanted," Kasparov said, referring to Putin's appearance at the Geneva summit. "He is at the top diplomatic table. He has now been elevated, even above other NATO countries." https://www.foxnews.com/media/russian-activist-garry-kasparov-blasts-nbc-putin-interview-humiliation-american-network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irv Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 ABC is the most biased. I watched the ABC Nightly News last night. They showed the press conference right up the point Biden stroked out on the CNN reporter. How convenient. I swear David Muir wants to have adult relations with senile Joe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
