With important stuff I always look for more "sauces". Preferably with different biases. And still you can't be sure, even being eye whitness doesn't mean you saw every angle.

The problem I see with big general media is they pretty often write absolute nonsense and you only see it when it happens to be in the field you know very well. And then you wonder what about the rest of their output? Can't trust them? And then the same newspaper "prints" something in the same field that's actually correct and well informed.

Not easy, it never was.

There are 2 issues: curation and trust. Was curious about Mike's curation approach, but agree that the trust/accuracy issue is also critical.

I thought this essay by Scott Alexander was a good perspective on that: https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/bounded-distrust
