Where do you go to get your News with credibility?

I never considered that as breaking news. However with all of the election activity I can see its current prominence.
Aren't you concerned about "alt news" there?

@Pfuzylogic: Well of course. You need to be a responsible consumer of news and always consider the source. But Twitter itself is not ever the source. It is simply the best way to find the most relevant and current source of news for any given breaking story.

@sarabee1995: and Twitter is there a "channel" that you go to on a normal basis ?

@Pfuzylogic: Not really. I follow a ton of people and sources of course, but then there's always whats trending and when anything is happening, that's where you go.

@sarabee1995: I know that you are a very selective consumer of information and so it seems very somewhere to how I do a search on Google there is a certain develop skill for it

@Pfuzylogic: Well yes, of course. You need to be your own filter. There's a ton of junk out there and you need to be able to recognize it.

@sarabee1995: I would say that creating that filter would be the major task

@Pfuzylogic: No, I don't think so. It just means you need to read with you eyes open and not believe anything just because someone put it out there.

@sarabee1995: that is quite true but a lot of people don't put a lot of research into the resources and just except certain peoples words as facts

@Pfuzylogic: Yup. And then we end up with the choice we had last November. 😞

@sarabee1995: That is what is so special about our country the person voted in is the one with the most electoral college votes and as far as we know he got them fair and Square

@Pfuzylogic: Yes, true. But I wonder if a more educated electorate would have selected them out of the respective primary fields?

@sarabee1995: I wondered that with a few previous elections. I'm doing what Hillary did; Grin and bear it ! 😄

@Pfuzylogic: lol

@NearMiss: By filter, I meant my mental filter. I follow news sources that I feel are to the right and to the left, traditional and not. And, I do not *just* follow what is trending, but that is an indicator of what most people are looking at.

As for your premise that "most of the people" got their news from Twitter, I doubt that very much. Certainly within my generation that is the case, but most of my peers did not vote.

@NearMiss: In a good way or a bad way? The obsession can be either.

@NearMiss: Lol yeah, that's bad.

@NearMiss: Lol yeah, that's bad.
