    A story is only as good as its sources. I take NYT coverage on Israel/Hamas with a grain of salt because a lot of information comes directly from the IDF. NYT coverage though of peace talks, or domestic issues, is completely different. Even then, I’m usually skeptical of their polling methodology.

    A better information accuracy warning would be to take nothing as absolute truth and critically examine their bias and sources. Because I guarantee, there is no publication that an information accuracy warning wouldn’t apply to. I’ve seen progressive publications do a bad job at this too.

      Yes! Agreed. Yours is the only sane, thoughtful, realistic response— and I thank you for it. Upvoted 👍
