Learning things from news sources on [social media]: 😃

Learning things from news sources on TikTok: 😡

Edit: Point being, as long as you use critical thinking and, at least, more than one trustable source, any platform can provide information.

I get some of my news from Judith Miller columns in the NYT and the Jeff Bezos owned Washington Post.

Yes, I'll occasionally read an article from the Murdoch-owned WSJ or pull up a video from acclaimed FOX News Journalist Juan Williams.

But if I really want the most fair and accurate reporting available, I turn to the nationally syndicated Epoch Times for all my news of the day.
