direspirefirewire: The silly thing is when media sites and broadcasting quote socmed posts as "news". I can understand when they use it as commentary but when the whole "news" story is based off a tweet or YT video or FB/instagram post? Where's the actual journalism?
You probably would have to ignore that as well. The journalism is still there, but journalists need to get paid (by the customer, not by companies). So, we better start paying again for good old journalism. Won't make the social media crap go away but at least will make them affecting you much less in the future.
Bottom line: Get an online subscription of some serious media and ask them to filter out any social media crap before serving you the news.
