Mainstream journos suck. They’re getting corpobashed and competing with chatbots now so that’s part of why they don’t have their wits about them I guess. The good ones have all gone indie or reader-supported over the past half decade. I only started “doing” social media of any kind right around lockdowns and found the mElon site before he bought it and ended up following a ton of bleeding edge writers blasting stories realtime. Most of them have migrated to bluesky which is good. I wish more of them had given Mastodon a chance tho.

Most of them are also the most gullible libs one can imagine. They have to be, to want to be journalists for those papers.
