JOURNALISM 101 RULE: If someone says it’s raining, and another person says it’s dry, it’s not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out of the fucking window and find out which is true. — Now more than ever.
ShrikeTron🔠💉x5@Strandjunker Apparently it's more lucrative and revenue generating to keep the audience hanging, and stretch out the question like a reality show in print.
Stryder Notavi@ShrikeTron @Strandjunker Yes, but when they do that we really shouldn't let them call it "journalism" anymore.
Some base level of commitment to actually helping people be well informed is necessary here.
Though I suspect to fix this we'll need to find a way to change the economic incentives that so far reward click bait, lazy both-sides comparisons and cutting the fact-checking budget to save on costs.
