“I don’t trust the MSM; I do my OWN research!”

Translation: I watch random YouTube videos, whose algorithms ensure that I only find “truth” that I'm comfortable with.

Research is practically my whole life.

I live, breathe, eat, sleep research.

I’ll do my own research!

I don't use AI either, same as MSM.
Yes, don't trust the companies with vast resources and global reach. Trust the conspiracy theorist outlet with zero reach and a load of opinions based on what they've watched on mainstream media.

to be fair it takes viewing more than one source - and running the stories through the BS filter - to try and get a semblance of the truth
SW-User
@Pretzel Not if that involves eschewing all reputable sources.
Pretzel · 70-79, M
@SW-User agreed

but the problem is that one person's reputable is another person's disreputable one - that's why I think it takes several sources
SW-User
@Pretzel and that’s the crux of the problem. People will just automatically discount many sources (mostly MSM) because they’ve been “told” not to trust it, and because doing their “own research” makes them feel superior.

You will find more truth in unscripted media always. Mainstream is ran by elites. Big corporations run them. That's why society is flocking to the alternative. Social media. ☺
SW-User
@Zonuss Yeah, social media, where you can be sure of measured, factual, unbiased "news" and where no one, absolutely no one (especially the defacto POTUS) has any sort of agenda whatsoever...

You go on social media to find your own truth.

Nothing wrong with being sceptical of mainstream media. They have a longggg history of deception.

@SW-User ok, what post of mine fits that description?
SW-User

@SW-User eh? Whats wrong about that? Imo that is a tall tale. I dont get how that is being "superior"?

Their own research == parroting whatever they hear from Jordan Peterson and Joe Rogan
