X is a total $hit show of bots, trolls, and disinformation. Americans have proven they are not smart enough to sort through it for real news.  Plus, no one should be supporting Musk. Get off X. [/quote]

Agree. X is an absolute shtshow. It’s propaganda drivel.[/quote]

What isn't?  It's a lot of stuff, a melting pot of opinions if you can create a feed and follow accounts to bring you diff POVs and learn to filter BS and bots.  Anonymous small accounts are not all bots and often have useful insightful info in the replies.  In other words, don't just read the stuff posted by big accounts (monetized) but read the replies and replies to the interesting replies to create a list of accounts to follow with varied opinions and interesting perspectives.  Often there is confrontation in the replies. And yeah, you will see a lot of crazy sh**, so be prepared. I haven't tried Blusky or Truth Social but I think they lean more bias and my time is limited[/quote]

Saying “what isn’t “ is an incredibly lazy way to avoid looking for real news. They are not all biased. But it does take some work to read what actually happens and then form your own opinion on how you feel about it. Much more difficult than turning on cable news and hearing “ this is what happened and this is how we want you to feel about it”[/quote]

[b]I saw the media coverage of a speciality issue that requires specialized knowledge. I’m sorry, but I simply do not trust these supposedly unbiased sources any more. Once you see the coverage of an issue you know a lot about professionally in a supposedly neutral and unbiased media source, your view of the media is permanently changed.[/b] [/quote]

Could not have said it better myself. I noticed this over 30 years ago in reporting in general. It has only gotten worse since then.

30 years ago, the news mostly was just 30 min in the evening on various channels and newspapers. It didn't politicize EVERYTHING like they do now.

People in general are tired of everything being politicized, and that is also a big part of why the media in general is not trusted by anyone anymore, but for a small % of the devout rich political elite. [/quote]

Spot on.

I think it is telling that there are posters here on DCUM who apparently fully believe there are absolutely trustworthy news sources. That just means that they are members of the devout rich political elite that control the general media narrative.

Once you see how the media treats a topic where you have deep professional expertise, you cannot believe in the concept of true media neutrality any more. [/quote]
