Ignorance

I try to stay away from the news media as much as possible. The sun rises and sets for me. Maybe more people should try it.

Does no one read anymore?

Fact check?

Question whether or not what our "leaders" tell us is truth or fiction?

Well there is NO way to know if what you read or are told is the truth.  And there is no way to "fact check" unless you are there when it happens.  You can trust your news source and distrust mine.  I can trust mine and distrust yours.  There is no way to know for sure that you are being told the truth.

I miss times when what you saw on the news was real.  But things are being exposed now that were false that happened years ago so who knows how long we have been fed false news.

Personally? I try to fact check just about everything anymore, including news articles. 99% of the time it's a misleading headline and/or bias article.

Unfortunately everyone I see in comment sections just follow blindly.

Not sure how you can fact check a news article.  Do you call the people involved?  All you can do is google or whatever search engine you use and look for similar articles.

You are right about misleading article titles  It's called click bait.  Kind of like on yahoo where it will say something like:  Woman opens birthday card years later: Calls cops

Yeah whatever.  I am not even going to give the story a hit count.

Point is no matter what if you see it online, in a magazine, a news paper, or where ever if you do not speak directly to the source you cannot know it is true.  Even sites like snoops or whatever it is has been proven to be biased and have false info.
