I don't trust anything posted or reported on by any news media source. Even when what they say is true it usually just results in you sweating your balls over something that has no actual effect on your day to day life. Pointless industry.
Mainstream media is owned by a handful of billionaires. They will only hire people who agree with them. So you have to go to independent media to get any truth, but they also can be compromised by their sponsors. Your best bet is going to independent sources who have a history of getting it right over the years.
Fact essentially doesn't exist anymore. Almost anything is up for heated debate, especially if it means not agreeing with the opposite political party.
Your best bet is to ignore everything that doesn't affect you directly.
The Biden administration sets up the Ministry of Truth to catch those disseminating disinformation and the first culprit of disseminating disinformation was the Biden administration for declaring that there was no vaccine when Biden became president when in fact that was an outright law. The "sheriffs" are those committing the crimes.
In fifty years as a voter I've never cast a ballot on the Democratic line (for any office, in any election), but I have to agree with Stephen Colbert's observation that "reality has a well-known liberal bias."
For many, the GOP became the party of "alternative facts" long before K. Conway articulated the concept. And many a GOPer doesn't like fact checkers because s/he knows what s/he *wants* to be true, and reality be damned.
Republicans don’t “trust” fact checkers because they are always exposing their lies.
DING-DING-DING!
Although TBF many GOP tenets are not actually lies (= knowing falsehoods) but simply wrong (= ignorant falsehoods).
My man...the official White House Twitter account posted as fact that there was no vaccine when Biden took office despite the fact that Biden was fully vaccinated when he took office. This is why no one trusts anyone. Because the same administration that created a stop the disinformation army is spreading disinformation. Remember when the media all said the Hunter Biden laptop thing was a fabrication? That was deemed true until it wasn't.
