1. Facts: Is the information supported by facts that can be confirmed through established methods of validation, meeting legal, scientific or logical standards of proof?

2. Source: Is the information from a provider with a history of accurate reporting?

3. Method: Does the source use professional and accepted techniques of factual reporting without relying on deceptive tactics or logical fallacies?

Musk's right-wing extremism accelerates, and so does his active amplification of other extremists. Remember, these are people who want to end democracy and, by extension, freedom of expression (for anyone who isn't one of them).

Journalists, meanwhile, continue to directly support him by pouring their work into his malignant platform.

Will they ever stop helping their enemies?

(Needless to say, that's a rhetorical question...)
