Social media is pretty much worthless from a journalistic standpoint. I actually find social media to be far superior, even though you have to do some sorting of material on your own. The American media are mostly liars, with a few bright spots thrown in. For example, there is not a single newspaper today that is reliably honest. And only a couple of TV channels that present truth consistently without interjecting biased commentary. Today, it is necessary to read diversly sourced articles before even considering whether a given news article is true. "Journalism" is a wasteland for the most part, although I have found a few sources I have developed some trust in. It has not been that long ago since George Stephanopolous was lying through his teeth on the Sunday morning show, and CNN continues to overwhelmingly have panels full of liars and racists, and I've had to simply remove MSNBC from my TV. Journalism hit rock bottom in the last year or two, and will now have to begin a recovery if it can. I can hardly name a journalist I would take seriously at this point.

Let me just give you a recent example: x.com Do you think CNN should have played this clip on their air? What was the purpose of it? There was certainly no truth to Pritzger's claim. Zero. Surely, you can agree with that. Furthermore, Musk is the most distant thing I can think of from a Nazi sympathizer. Hell, no lesser authority (and he is) on the subject than Netanyahu condemned the absurd claim this week. Yet, days later, CNN is running this clip? How about stating the facts which are there is no evidence that Musk indicated support for any Nazi regime, OR supports any form of Nazism whatsoever? Is this equivalent to the Charlottesville lie, all over again? Once again being promulgated by the media? (Even if she condemned before or after, just the act of running the video of this Democrat government falsely attacking musk is a bold-faced lie).
