Headline News Thread II: Meanwhile...

I guess I don't understand what y'all mean when you say that you don't acquire news from "social media".

I don't watch TV for news at all. Print doesn't exist. So I don't understand the hate on this one.

Everything I see comes from online in one form or another (Here, BlueSky, FaceBook, etc.) . And I don't think that anyone here on USCHO is any different. So being upset about the findings here has me scratching my head.
 
There's a difference between a post linking to a legit source, and billybob1488 linking to some pseudoscientific woo or RWNJ crankery. This survey makes no distinction as to the type and credibility of the sources people tend to get from social media and the Internet in general, and a lot of them are flaming hot garbage. Just look at some of the laughable bullshit Shrimpy farts out here every few weeks trying to spread anti-vax and transphobic disinfo to feel better about his personal inadequacies and shortcomings.

This is what I am talking about.

A lot of the content I find on Bluesky comes from the account holder (including in many cases the creator of the content) linking to a story that is housed elsewhere. Does that technically mean I am getting my material from Bluesky or the source such as Reuters, the AP,...?

It's a legitimate distinction to consider when analyzing the poll.
