People definitely have to use discretion before blindingly believing any source! It can be hard to figure out what's true and what's not.

Given that most mainstream media now uses paywalls, I dislike journalists in general, and information is rapidly spread through free channels, I dont really have an answer for you other than there is usually some sort of bias and simply looking at the facts(which are usually free) is how I make conclusions. I no longer rely soley on news media for news and find it really odd that it was the norm to do so when I was a kid.

It is very similar to the annoying practice of journalists talking over a raw self explanatory video. Now, I just read the headline and go digging for the stats. I skip journalists entirely. In fact, I want journalism to die as a profession.

COVID hype was a lie and in the long run was unfortunately a giant gift to conservatives. It may have led to Trump's defeat in 2020, but the brief surge in opposing activism became repulsive as it spread into 2022- because it restricted personal freedom and caused massive inflation. And a good percent of people got COVID anyways. This led to Trump winning in 2024 which is arguably a worse outcome than Trump winning 2020.
