How is this news? It's just factual
News should be factual. It's the opinion pieces being treated as articles that got us into this mess in the first place.
Read the AP wire about a story, then see how CNBC covers the story and compare it to Fox's coverage. You'll find that more often than not you have to look at both stories to get the full picture.
I just use an RSS reader to get most my news. The only long form stuff I read now are exceedingly specific substacks (soon to switch to Ghost) and anything Pro Publica put out.
100% agree with you! News should be factual otherwise you end up in some fictional based conspiracy theory situations, like ‘Pizzagate” and “Alien Reptilians” …. etc…
But that RSS reader is probably clutch in our internet world now! It’s ridiculous what “news” people believe due to being gaslit for years!!
Not really my point. I agree with you. I was saying his statement is a non-statment as it's just basic truth. It's not particularly news worthy
