I read and watch legacy media, and I make sure to check independent journalists as well.
I try to force myself to see what I am against and try to learn and understand why people hold that world view.
The only media you seem to consume is Fox News and whatever that fat fucks podcast is called. They think they’re smart, too, just like you.
fat fucks
I know it can get emotional when talking to people you are against or that do not agree or think the way you want them to, but try to remember:
- Be civil
You want me to be civil towards Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson et. al.?
I say fuck that, and fuck them.
Ok. I assume legacy media is like Fox News sort of outlets?
How do you make sure to check independent journalists? From what source(s)?
Legacy media is corporate media, but more precisely and to the best of my recalling knowledge, it points to news corporations that started in television and those that had printed newspapers.
This is just a way to showcase how they have lost the trust of the working class and that most get thier news from social media sites and/or independent sources.
I may be wrong, but that is a way I would describe it to people that have not heard of legacy media.
Edit: forgot you had another questoion
How do you make sure to check independent journalists? From what source(s)?
Many independent journalists at one time were a part of legacy media.
They are not only on social media and their stuff is shared and talked about by commentators, including political commentators and activists, they also have their own sites and communities online.
