>>105649113Nothing is trustworthy. The news, twitter, your plumber on the phone, or even your friends.
You always have to evaluate the possibility of what you hear being false and what incentive the person (or bot, if we're online) might have to lie.
Some things are mundane and not very likely to be lies, so you can accept them at face value (while keeping in mind that there's ALWAYS the possibility of it being a lie for whatever reason you might not be seeing at the time).
For example the news talking about some town having a fair, your plumber setting an appointment, a tweet talking about playing videogame, or your friend saying he prefers Sprite to Coke.
Other things are more likely to be lies based on the incentive they have to lie, their history of previous lies, how believable the specific statement is, etc.
For example the news talking about a politician of their opposite leaning, Twitter (or 4chan) talking about any possible controversial or politicized topic, the plumber telling you about the expensive and very necessary repairs to your house you knew nothing about, your friend telling you about the threesome he had with two 10s last night, etc.
These are all from the same source but you'd be a retard to accept them at face value, for obvious reasons.
Going back to Twitter, you can't trust it because its users are on average very militant about the things they believe and will constantly lie or bend the truth about anything that makes their side look good and the other side look bad.
Not every tweet is like this, but enough of them are that you can't consider them a source of information that you can just take at face value.
The same applies to every website pretty much, and you need to evaluate on a case-by-case basis which site is trustworthy for that specific piece of information.
