      News should be factual. It’s the opinion pieces being treated as articles that got us into this mess in the first place.

      Read the AP wire about a story, then see how CNBC covers the story and compare it to Fox’s coverage. You’ll find that more often than not you have to look at both stories to get the full picture.

      I just use an RSS reader to get most my news. The only long form stuff I read now are exceedingly specific substacks (soon to switch to Ghost) and anything Pro Publica put out.

        100% agree with you! News should be factual otherwise you end up in some fictional based conspiracy theory situations, like ‘Pizzagate” and “Alien Reptilians” …. etc…

        But that RSS reader is probably clutch in our internet world now! It’s ridiculous what “news” people believe due to being gaslit for years!!

        Not really my point. I agree with you. I was saying his statement is a non-statment as it’s just basic truth. It’s not particularly news worthy

      What the heck, do you want some ‘Esquire UK’ news rag? Telling you what’s up? Or what? Because those stories are NOT fact but rather speculation/flat out false. But I do love me some fiction on people, it’s honestly hilarious, not going to lie!

      Clearly, you think news with ‘facts’, in your opinion, “isn’t news” … um WHAT? I legit am confused.

      I mean, I can’t speak for anyone but myself, but I sure as hell hope journalists and news outlets are putting out factual information… but instead we have people who believe stories on Facebot, Newsmaximal Wrong, Faux News, TikNot, and X marked dead … true journalism died during Drumpf’s first election from hell, so facts always please!

      If you do not think this is “news”, ‘governor calling out a douche who paid his way up Drumpf’s illegal immigrant ass (as well) to basically gut out government for his own gain, who has never done ANYTHING but buy already established companies and ultimately try to gain from it (Starlink, Tesla, SpaceX)’.

      WHAT IS?
