I wonder with corporate media being a failure on yesterday’s elections and social media being a mess, where do voters get their info? Just wondering.

@tracytran for me, AP for election results.

otherwise i follow reliable investigative journalists on SM. No one is going to spoon feed news to you anymore, you have to find it on your own

sadly a lot of people get their news via headlines from MEta/FB and tiktok or videos. and it is often wrong, and they do not know it

@Kinnison You’re right. You can’t trust institutions anymore, you have to find individual journalists who make sense, which is harder and harder.

@tracytran Why do you think the media was a failure on coverage? I watched news from ABC, NBC, CBS and various local news channels here and in other locations on Youtube. I knew who won, what the votes were, what was passing. ?

@TrueBloodNet punditry. If one of the Chyrons say “Great night for the Dems, but it’s a bad sign for Biden”, something is amiss. Also, local news was lacking in the area except 2 24 hour news channels, and their reporting was a 15-30 minute delay from real time results.

@TrueBloodNet Forgot polling and trying make it as gospel when in reality, their methods are outdated

@tracytran Sorry. You can find live streams on youtube (no fees). I don't watch cable tv at all. They need to reinstate and updated fairness act.

@TrueBloodNet I would like to but it’s based in algorithms. Also, I don’t trust Alpha/Google on that front. I can search, but need to find individuals

@tracytran Their live news channels seem to show lots of options. You can look under the 'News' heading under 'Explore' on the left side navigation or go down 4 rows under 'Live' and there's a row called: Live Now - News. I do NOT watch Fox and it shows up there for me so... shrugs. Hope that helps.

@TrueBloodNet I get that, but it’s still heavy on corporate media. I can get news, it’s who I trust that’s the issue.
