Current Events > "Most mainstream media is a lie"

(+) Yeah! (+)

Well it's not really, is it? Not compared to everything else surely?

I mean If CNN publishes a lie they get absolutely reamed for it. Millions of people are there to be critical and ask questions about this stuff and point out where it's not credible.

Meanwhile if you say some absolute fucking nonsense on a rando fringe website literally no one questions you on it, because you've found the other 100 people on Earth as whacky as you are. You can say literally anything you want. Flat earth is real, QAnon is the most senior intelligence officer of all time, Donald Trump is a good father etc. etc.

Maybe it's more like, mainstream media is more often correct more of the time than everything else?

People like to feel special and smarter than everyone else.

You can believe the mainstream if you want. Independent thinkers and doyourownresearchers like me will always know the truth only exists on the rando's blog!

A lot of people figured out that flat-out lying also brings in viewers for outrage watches, so

Best place to get US news is from international outlets. Or just be media literate and understand what the recent dog whistles are.
