Bad news except you can't trust TV either. Or reading the news, lately. At least regardless of the medium, general advice carries-- double check sources, learn which are credible, etc.
I just hope people are following links and not just reading headlines, right? ...Right?

I'd say they're equally meh due to not showing the whole picture. TV kinda says what feds allow 'em to, and antisocial media gives an easy way to filter only the news strengthening your beliefs in whatever (I.e. radicalization). But with the latter one can at least consciously add more perspectives [unless it's Facebook, and zuckwomble decides to conduct one of his mood control experiments or something]
msm is still worst thought, because the tradional network ones are under the control of conservatives. not by much.

And that’s problematic as social media is harder to debunk due to how chronic bullshit flies.
Is it though. Are they gonna trust cousin Lenny more than the talking heads on a big TV show with production. Are you gonna sound more or less credible than cousin Lenny, now a big TV show with "experts"

Sure, but my comment was directed specifically at the “top news source” part.

Eh I'll stay away from Xitter.
Avoiding Xitter is understandable but the dude has had it right geopolitically since I remember!

Social media is not a news source.
It is the source most Americans get their news from wether it's technically a news source in itself.

I'm actually surprised that this is the first time that's happened.
America is not exactly known for having standard news programs as anyone in the rest of the world would consider them, it's just a matter of picking your preferred bias.

How disgusting… hope laws are created to make sure it’s legit.

American TV was a news source?
Yeah, I was going to say that TV wasn't much of a news source to begin with. The real issue is that social media for news is probably worse - now everyone can be spoonfed the news they want.

AI Utopia, AI Apocalypse, and AI Reality: If we can’t build an equitable, sustainable society on our own, it’s pointless to hope that a machine that can’t think straight will do it for us.
