Twitter, now X, was once a useful site for breaking news. The Baltimore bridge collapse shows those days are long gone.

      Great for seeing a headline and then finding an article yourself. Less great for finding articles. Half of you people here have a penchant for linking super weird news sources.

      Even Lemmy does that, though. You’re still influenced by the headline, the community/moderation and the users.

      Assuming that everyone clicks through to the article, and doesn’t comment before reading the headline, anyhow.

        And at the news organization, you are influenced by the editors and framing by authors.
