Why would you read something that carries very little credibility? Can you blame anyone for having such a knee-jerk reaction?

- halocupcake 4y agoMost major news outlets were reporting on the derailment shortly after, and yet I see this narrative continually being pushed that nobody reported on it. Yes, we should blame people for pushing such an easily debunked conspiracy theory. The reality is that we live in the social media era, and nobody knew or cared about the derailment until some people screamed about a black cloud on a viral TikTok clip. People should be held to a bare minimum expectation to inform themselves properly before acting as if our government and media are horrendously corrupt. Examples of articles on mainstream sites reporting on the derailment soon after the event (some articles showed up on the front pages as well): https://www.reuters.com/world/us/train-derailment-causes-massive-fire-ohio-local-media-2023-02-04/ https://www.reuters.com/world/us/train-derailment-causes-mas... https://apnews.com/article/pennsylvania-ohio-evacuations-fires-5d399dc745f51ef746e22828083d8591 https://apnews.com/article/pennsylvania-ohio-evacuations-fir... https://www.foxnews.com/us/ohio-train-derailment-causes-massive-fire-forces-village-evacuation https://www.foxnews.com/us/ohio-train-derailment-causes-mass... https://edition.cnn.com/2023/02/04/us/east-palestine-ohio-train-derailment-fire https://edition.cnn.com/2023/02/04/us/east-palestine-ohio-tr...
