For the first time, social media overtakes TV as Americans’ top news source

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.

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.
