- bryanlarsen 4y agoAccuracy isn't a binary.
- registeredcorn 4y agoIs that an accurate statement?
- ben_w 4y agoSometimes it is, sometimes it isn't, depending on the domain.
- goatlover 4y agoThere's a range between 0% and 100%. Saying news is either would be false. Giving it a percentage would just depend on what news and what situation.
- ifyoubuildit 4y agoIt might be accurate, but that's not the priority. Think about it: broadcasting information costs something. Nobody is going to pay that cost unless they're getting a return for it. Nobody is going out of their way to provide you with information out of the goodness of their heart. They're doing it so that you buy what they're selling (e.g. pharmaceuticals, gold) or vote for their party, etc. A lot of times that information will be technically not wrong, but that's not the goal.
