It's partly a lack of trust, partly an attempt to avoid the endless toxic, depression-inducing stream of bad news, war crimes, moral panics, activist demands, nudge unit manipulation, propaganda and geopolitical posturing, laced with threats of an imminent climate apocalypse and nuclear war.

It takes money to do real journalism as opposed to hosting Russian/Chinese disinformation.

When the corporate controlled media in cahoots with the government are the ones propagating the misinformation.

No wonder the legacy media is quickly becoming passe. And their response is to double down and try to control us even more.

If you have some people telling you what is misformation, you can be sure those people will tell their side of story, no one can be judge and party.

How X.com or Israel are pointed out as enemies while they are fighting for freedom of speech and against terrorism ? Please explain.

Steve Balmer is taking his news from X...and all politicians are using it to promote their agenda.

No censorship shall be the norm for democracies.

Given the evident bias in media reporting, such as calling Argentina’s Milei “far-right”, and prefixing any report of something Trump says with “falsely claimed”, or “without evidence”, I am less likely to pay for the current media options than ever.

I am the one who decides (for me) what is false, evidence, and “far-right”, or loony left. This is why we have juries to judge people when they are out on trial for alleged crimes - not just turned over to some faceless body that shall decide.

Some people I used to see in the legacy media have started up their own platforms so they can speak directly what they think. I would rather listen to honest opinions that I disagree with than curated propaganda.
