I had the misfortune of running into a leftist analysis on Rich Men North of Richmond today. the thing that made me stop watching was when he said
in the next lyric, we can clearly see where this guy gets his news
gets his news
It made me think about my conversations with both leftists and Qtards alike, where they constantly talk about how news source x is unreliable and news source y is the one that tells the truth.
Anyone who is here from GamerGate knows that news sources are unreliable as fuck, as well as being highly prone to lies by omission and otherwise pushing an agenda. this is been true from CNN, to Fox News, to Zero Hedge, to Breitbart, to MSNBC, to any other online blogging rag.
This a world where if someone is simply "getting their news" from somewhere, they do not have the whole truth and are likely in a complete bubble.
One should not be "getting their news", one should be hunting the news and hunting the truth. anything less means you are just believing what someone else wants you to believe.

logically, you are not "getting your news" from those sources if you question them at all. You are simply interpreting one information source.
That's what proper researchers do and then they correlate that information to see what's accurate and what's not because there will be different perspectives from the journalists that wrote them if they did actual research themselves. More often than not though, you find it's a half-arsed copy and paste job these days and if you've read one article you've read them all which is why we need to go to alt-tech and chat to people online working in industries or who are local to the area to get our news. This is why AI is going to be taking over these jobs, it's not that AI is advanced enough to replace humans. It's because they know they don't need humans to do any of it anymore.
Have you noticed? It's less about getting news from a centralised source these days, we're doing the equivalent of going to the local bazaar and finding out rumours but on a global scale which is what the internet has enabled us to do. That's why our information is often way better than even government agencies. Whenever you've seen a breaking story that's accurate or whatever it's usually some local person who's recording it or it's been a tip off from an industry professional.
To say you aren't "getting your news" from a source because you think about their track record is like saying you didn't hear about Bob gettig married because Bob was the one who told you and he's a known liar.
