my mom hung up some clothes of mine on the doorframe and it seriously could not convey more "this guy dresses like a cartoon bully" if it got up and stole a kids lunch money

Since I’ve been asked this a couple of times here are some tips on how to tell if the media you’re watching/reading is credible and which way their bias leans. These are tips I came across via Katherine Brodsky on X and, ironically, a publication from NowThis a few years back (which is an outlet guilty of a lot of tactics they were calling out. But still, the tips are good). Employing these tactics when you are unsure about the media you’re consuming can help you determine on your own how trustworthy that source is or is not.
1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong.
2. Don’t trust anonymous sources.
3. Don’t trust sources that cite other news outlets as the source of the information.
4. Pay attention to the language the media uses.
“We are getting reports” could mean anything.
“We are seeking confirmation” means they don’t have it.
“[News Outlet] has learned” means they have a scoop or are going out on a limb.
“Experts say/believe” who are these experts? How many were asked? How were they chosen? What are their credentials as they relate to this specific topic? Is there really a consensus?
5. Does the image chosen accurately represent the story?
6. Watch out for conflation. Media outlets will often try to conflate two things that have nothing to do with each other to try and make it seem like a certain thing/person is responsible for a failure or success.
7. Leading language. Whether a publication uses words like pro-choice or pro-abortion, gun rights or gun control, riots or protests, migrants or illegals, birthing person or woman will tell you a lot. This is a tactic that can often go unnoticed by people that is designed to persuade you to subconsciously accept a judgment or opinion of the journalist instead of just presenting the facts and allowing you to come to your own conclusions.
8. Bias by omission. A journalist can present facts in a way that appears to be neutral but in reality they have chosen to include some facts and exclude others, which creates an inaccurate picture and narrative and limits our understanding of the reality.
9. Another type of omission that can be very telling is news outlets simply choosing not to report certain stories at all.
10. Story placement. What makes the front page? What gets buried?

I love how all of the Batman villains are like “ah he’s not at the manor, it’s defenseless! and then alfred just racks an AK-47 and is like pull up bitch
#alfred pennyworth is goated in every sense#that man is trained to kill and will not hesitate if it means protecting bruce

I know adverbs are controversial, but "said softly" means something different than "whispered" and this is the hill I will die on.

It's easy to think you'd be able to do something when you know that you'd never have to actually do it.

It should 100% be illegal for companies to make you give them your payment information when you sign up for a free trial version of their product. It is not necessary and there is no good fucking reason for them to do it. It’s blatantly just so they can steal forgetful customers’ money.
