i thought we already solved that; it's called journalism

just read the economist or NYT or whatever you like and stfu instead of thinking you're going to somehow to a better job gathering and exploring information than that

I'd like to do that. But every time there is a story about something I really do know about, it is so wrong as to be highly misleading.

[internetman55]

But is there any evidence that whatever you come up with will be better than simply reading a reputable newspaper or magazine?

That's not new. Journalists aren't experts in any profession, that's always been the case.

[robotresearcher]

Sure. I’m just pointing out a problem with the approach of the previous post, where ‘stfu’ was the advice.
