There was some level of trust before with the verified sources. People you know that did homework and were actual journalists. Now anyone on their couch can pay a fee, get the check mark and can spew opinions as facts and no one knows the difference. If you can’t see the difference then I’m sorry. I know you don’t like the media since Trump has trained you that they’re all out to get him but grow up. I guess you’d rather live in a world where Elon musk is retweeting Catturd as news and facts instead. I don’t want to live in that world.
There was no level of trust. That’s the problem. You think there was and ate up all the bullshit because the people posting the lies and propaganda had blue check marks next to their name.
Maybe it’s because you’re old, but a lot of us grew up knowing not to just trust shit that’s posted on the internet without critical thought. Regardless if it has a blue check or not.
Again, it’s hilarious to me you’re upset you can’t just outsource your thinking to blue check people like Brian Stelter, Jake Tapper, etc. because blue checks some how now mean less than they used to.
Some blue checks always posted bullshit propaganda and lies. Eye opening you admit you just believed it all.
