    Does it feel like the news is all opinion pieces these days? All I see is “someone said something on Twitter” lately.

      This is the politics community, not news, so opinion pieces are fair game.

      But yeah, even so, I hate how even “news” articles are “elon posted something on twitter”.

      The steep decline in money available to publishers means that they’re going to cut reporting in favor of paying an intern to copy and paste off of twitter. You end up with twenty different publications summarizing the same AP article with one paragraph, the. a dozen hot takes on twitter by people you’ve never heard of.

      And we’re reaching the point where they don’t even need the intern to do it.
