I dont have any real arguments as i find most media reporting to be inane. I fully see why alt media is prone to being less reliable but MSM having more reach and influence should make people wary.
I think that's actually another point to bolster my argument. The MSM having more reach and influence should make people more wary but it also means that the people behind them are likely to be more cautious and responsible. The backlash and potential fallout are so much greater for a (published) news outlet with hundreds of thousands of readers/viewers (and they actually have watchdogs and boards that they're held accountable to) that I think it's only logical that they're more careful about spreading misinformation or stories with potentially harmful consequences. News outlets like The Guardian, Reuters and NYT have to carry much more responsibility than some alternative or independent journalist, and I think that shows in their behavior.

Still, I get your point. Their reach and influence should be met with wariness. But I think that doesn't detract from my point that people should be more skeptical when it comes to the independent / alternative ones.

That's very strange to me. It almost amounts to deliberate ignorance. Do you not want to know or have you just checked out off all things that don't directly affect your daily life?
I dont believe people behind a news outlet with reach and influence wouldnt abuse that more than 'likely'. The backlash and fallout are bigger for such outlets but so is the wall to expose bad behavior.

You could call it deliberate ignorance, i dont benefit from knowing or not knowing more. Even if it was something that affected my daily life i would probably not be able to do anything about it.

I didnt contribute to anything here other than showing my bias. I guess my point is youre too forgiving for MSM even if alt media is worse.

Both the MSM and alt media require more than just a grain, youre naive.

Its a little more important for the MSM to not fuck up pushing something fake or badly researched out in the first place as the damage is done far wider and quicker. All media should require perfection and abandon of the writers personal biases.

But that will never happen and i will continue to not follow any media outlets.
My point kind of was that even though they should all be treated with skepticism, the alternative ones should be even more so. The grain part was just the expression. I think I made a pretty good case as to why the alternative media is usually less reliable and you're not giving any real counter arguments. There's no reason to assume they are both equally prone to being bad news.

How do you stay informed if you don't follow any media outlets?

There's so much care and detail, I thought, that it was like the animators were getting off to the fucked up situations that they were illustrating.

I shouldn't be reading into the animator's intentions that hard
Shouldnt animators do their best at the scenarios theyre given? I mean theyre not the ones who wrote the damn thing.

can (or should) a bad OP and/or ED affect the quality of a show, or at least your opinion of it

would you say a good OP/ED boosts a show, or are they of any consequence at all
A bad OP/ED doesnt really affect my view of the show as i can just skip them.  I dont think it should affect anyones view of the actual content.

A good OP and ED does make the show more memorable for me though. Its even better if theyre used once for dramatic effect in the show. Ive picked up a few great bands and artists from good OP's which is nice.
