Follow the money. If you want to know something about the credibility of a source, look into what they are actually getting paid to do. For example:
- Fox News gets paid to shout scary ideas at old people.
- MSNBC gets paid to say snarky comments that make their friends giggle.
- CNN gets paid to pretentiously spout conjectures that sound important.
- CNBC gets paid to use buzzwords and pretend noise is signal to make viewers feel smart.
- ABC, CBS, & NBC news all get paid by trying to resemble what their viewers remember traditional network news looked like.
Turn off the news. It makes you dumber.
