After Elon Musk took over X, most fact-checkers were fired. The site is now rife with trash talk and lies.
"The toothpaste is out of the tube," says Darrell West of the Brookings Institution
Journalists should just stop with using X as a place to find anything
I mean, you never see them using 4chan or gab or truth social or mastodon as a place to find things to report about right? Cause they are unreliable
Its not rocket science now....the news sites would be a better place if every other article didn't have a reference to fuckin twitter
Every time I think about this it irks me. The free press supporting and helping to build a far right propaganda machine. The irony.
I think a lot of the climate scientists have finally moved (to threads) but sheesh that took a while too.
@peeppeepcircus from one shit show to another
Threads is just as bad as twitter for misinfo on stuff same as mastodon
@peeppeepcircus yeah that's getting just as bad not same level but it's getting there every since they "opened doors" without invite few weeks back
@ecksmc Ikr 😞
Don’t follow the journalists and scientists - that’s literally where we are at with social media.
P.s. I meant the scientists went to bluesky, not threads, but same show.
