X is an amazing news source!

Like any other source, you have to look at the bias of the contributor, but that’s pretty easy.

It’s now the free speech platform of choice.  The crowd fact checking is quite good…unless one can’t let go of past lies that “fact checkers” regularly spewed.

I’m more than a little disturbed by the state of things.  Apparently Twitter is now an information source?  Why?  

When you hear people say stuff at a cocktail party you don’t believe all of it right?  It’s just a person talking.  It’s not been reviewed, edited, or vetted.  Even if it was Albert Einstein talking about physics you don’t know if he’s being accurate when he’s speaking off the cuff, and you don’t know if he’s joking (or even lying).  

Twitter is just 50 million people talking at a cocktail party.  Facebook is graffiti on the bathroom wall.  The most frightening thing to me about our future is that we’ve come to rely on these as information sources.
