Now we've got that out the way, lets talk about the news. Or the not news, as it were.
I've noticed this trend of "influencers" and "breaking news" accounts posting a lot of copium lately. Yesterday, it was a fake letter from Donald Trump about Hunter Biden. Today, it was claiming the RULES vote for the Merrick
Garland contempt charge was the actual vote (there's a difference).
This is inevitable in a social media obsessed world. Everyone's trying to be "first" to a story, especially now that X (formerly Twitter) monetizes your tweets for you.
But, like Carrie Bradshaw, I can't help but wonder about the broader implications of this. How many people just see the "news," assume it is true, and move on with their lives with falsehoods in their heads?
This isn't the "fake news" we've heard about for years, which is typically malicious in nature. This is just good old fashioned jumping the gun, most of the time from people who don't mean any harm.
Just something to think about. Obviously we'll always try and have your back in terms of having the real news up at The National Pulse.
