As much of a news source as the washington compost, new york slimes, or cnn
That part is spot on. All the real news gathering and reporting is scattered across the web on substacks, blogs, and other disparate locations.
Traditional and even “new” media are nearly 100% editorial in nature now, starting with an opinion and only citing news in order to sell the opinion. There’s no veneer of credibility just because someone is paid to blather from CNN or Newsmax — it’s exactly the same trolling for clicks and page views as humblegunner charges bloggers with.
That said … Facebook? Really? After all that vacuum of data has been and done, it’s a complete mystery why any thinking person would still use, much less post, there.
