And that is different from Social Media of today in what way?

I trust the AP a hell of a lot more than anything I see on Youtube or Facebook. Fuck, when it comes down to it I trust Fox News more than any social media outlet, mostly because I know Fox News is propaganda.

    Social media is much more likely to be full of information that is NOT true than to be compltely devoid of information that IS true.

    But to your point: that is why Israel now controls TikTok in the United States.

    yeah. I do find they don't put much into misinformation. I think its because all they need is the headline since most people do not read much more.

    Tell me about it. I currently made a post and am getting hammered by morons who clearly only read the title, and not even very thoughfully at that.

    why? sounds like you did your part. if you had not given any more context then yeah its expected to get that but if you did then its on them to read the post. its understandable someone does not go off to another website but if the info is where they are hanging out then its on them.

    well, it's a little bit of a joke--i regret it because so many people didn't read it.

    ah. yeah. that happens. I put a long explanation edit to a small comment when I realized it was being taken differently than it was in my head. internets just like that. its hard to get a feel especially when we are all bouncing around.

    His point was “it is up to the audience whether or not they trust the press.”

    And that is 100% the case when it comes to social media.

    Social Media is much more like to be full of information that is not true that to be completely devoid of information of is true.

    That is a totally different topic and completely wrong.
