Not that either are good but 🤢
Arent't we using one at the moment?
Lemmy has links to a variety of news sources, some more credible than others. I imagine there are people who link credible news sources on social media as well?
Sure, but my comment was directed specifically at the “top news source” part.
another case of “lesser evil”
TV being the lesser evil
I'd say they're equally meh due to not showing the whole picture. TV kinda says what feds allow 'em to, and antisocial media gives an easy way to filter only the news strengthening your beliefs in whatever (I.e. radicalization). But with the latter one can at least consciously add more perspectives [unless it's Facebook, and zuckwomble decides to conduct one of his mood control experiments or something]
msm is still worst thought, because the tradional network ones are under the control of conservatives. not by much.
