I’ll consider paying for journalism if any was offered. Now that I said that, I feel guilty not paying for comics. . . but at least they get their ad revenue.
Try this just for a change: Take some notes about what your routinely watched TV news reports, and collect those notes for even a month or so. After the month, go back and read those notes; how often was what they reported later shown to be not totally correct – or even downright false? How many predictions about what each story meant for the future fail to come to pass? As objectively as you can, think about how truthful and reliable your favorite news source really is….
If you cannot fit a cogent summary into 15 seconds (10 is better), there’s no chance that M. Average will take it to heart. Must also be video format, because reading is so… dull.

“The truth hurts”, brilliant! I like that idea of questioning everything. Question worth considering for a critical assessment: “says who?”

Obviously fake. No one has their phone out waiting for the others to beat the guy.

It’s much easier to con someone than to convince them they’ve been coned. People just refuse to believe it can happen to them.

Google “facts vs. truth.” Most people don’t understand the distinction and it’s important. They are not synonyms.
