Right, remember to keep your eyes peeled for that 10 or 20% of media that isn't BS.

If only there was some way to know that the 10 or 20% you think isn't BS isn't BS and you aren't labeling the non-BS as BS.
Ofc a more nuanced discussion would have to include something like a probabilities of expected values. But given the cost of creating BS is cheaper than refuting it and the media's proclivity for distributing it, I'm very willing to be somewhat biased against it.
