- freebuju 6y agoWhile in a perfect world, we would have factual arguments laid out in opinion pieces. They are merely that, someone's opinions and are even more playground space for self-proclaimed pundits than actual journalism.
- edrobap 6y ago> its a crazy world that we live in It’s a lazy world we live in. In times of fast journalism, there is not time waste of fact check. The news are bets to a large extent.
- Fnoord 6y ago> I had similar thoughts and then quit reading news ever since. You didn't. You're commenting on a news article. What you mean is that you quit reading [that|these] specific source(s).

- realshadow 6y agoI did not read the article but the title and the top comment here before commenting. I follow scientists/engineers on youtube thats all to get all the knowledge i need. Through debunked videos i've come to know the state of current journalism.

- rtx 6y agoI have found interviews and podcast to be a better source now.
- djmips 6y ago'Opinion pieces ... are never fact checked' - did you fact check that?
- realshadow 6y agoYes, i did but a few times that's enough to make up my mind
