    You probably already know this, but you need to keep a lookout for where the articles are actually sourced from. Just because multiple sources are reporting on something could simply mean they are affiliated outlets publishing the same story from the same original author.

    This saves time for affiliate outlets, but it’s a practice that is vulnerable to the rapid spread of misreporting or intentional misinformation.

        You’re getting blasted because you didn’t bother to read the “unbelievable story”, which contained a link to exactly what you asked for.

            During a conversation on the “War on Technology” at Benton, Louisiana’s Cypress Baptist Church — unearthed by X user Receipt Maven — the Louisiana representative talked about how he installed “accountability software” called Covenant Eyes on his devices in order to abstain from internet porn and other unsavory websites.

            Literally all you had to do was click the link.

        No.

        You got blasted because you tried calling a local newspaper a non-credible source despite it being proven it was very credible.

        You just didn’t like that it was a left wing site and wanted to discredit it. You failed hard and you’re still moaning about it days later.
