Journalists' Main Goal for 2017 is to Produce Fake News

So it seems. At least at some media orgs. The problem is that many journalists use their filter bubble on Media Twitter to share bogus stories, produced by allegedly acceptable media orgs. The Media Twitter echo chamber is part of the problem too because journalists don't hesitate to wonder if the story is true. It's easier to read a headline and share it because the assumption is that it must be true because of the org that produced it. This is lazy and irresponsible behavior for all journalists involved.

The only journalist I like to read is Glenn Greenwald at TheIntercept.com. That website is my favorite website to read for news and stories that are not locally-focused on Toledo. For local news and info, I rely on the Toledo Blade's local news RSS feed. For techy stuff, I peruse Hacker News. Then I access personal websites of people I enjoy reading, and these publishers cover a wide variety of interests that appeal to me.
