- DrScump 10y agoI think people reduced their consumption of commercial media in general when they found, partly as a result of being able to see unfiltered, original sources via the internet, that they were being spun (and outright lied to) by those very news services.
- kennywinker 10y agoI think one of the big problems we're facing is that unfiltered original sources, while not "spun", can be misleading without context. For example, every time Trump tweets "i never said that" we need the context ("he did say that") or we're just guessing at the truth.
