Get information
Or
Process information?

two different things.


Honestly, I get a lot of my information from here and if it’s something that I want to look further into, I check out CNN or MSNBC (for “real news”) or whatever other outlet.

The Coli “breaks” a lot of news for me becuse I’m on here often :yeshrug:

That's what I mean, you have to take news from multiple sources nowadays. I was just crowdsourcing a question. I want to stay informed, so I was interested on how other people do it

I don’t watch any news. I learn about things through word of mouth for a few reasons.

Most things people get “informed” on is worthless to their day to day and isn’t even actionable.

Also, most “informed” people are told how to feel about what’s happening and can’t even answer questions to support their feelings.

I only trust reputable sources, breh. I don't trust every random link that's posted. Shoot, I don't even CLICK every random link cause of viruses.

If it's a site that I've never heard of in my life, I don't trust it. If what they're reporting is true, then I should be able to find it on a reputable site when I search it in google.

I don't accept anything I read as fact. I realize that there are a lot of liars both on this site and the greater interwebs that are putting out disinformation in an attempt to create chaos in society.

So because of that, I only trust reputable sources.

I do get a lot of breaking news for the coli both related to what's happening in the mainstream and what's happening in the culture.

So everyday, I check the front page of TLR. I know if something happens in the world or in black society, one of these clowns will post it because of the incentive of daps.

Good point. I feel like national media is too political and basically just not interesting. However, there are major issues that I feel aren't getting enough coverage - say the inevitable confrontation with China, while we find out our pronouns.

I think we will always be in an economic Cold War of sorts with China. Two super powers that won’t ever really collide because they are too powerful on the global scale. A China America war would cripple the world

But news is news. The actual event itself happens no matter how you process it. For that part, The Coli is reliable.

The shyt never hits the fan, until it does, right? Decoupling with them is going to be a heavy task, but it will make us more self reliant. It was bullshyt how we needed medical materials from them during the pandemic. However, I get what you're saying. Appreciate it breh.
