Your statement individual news doesnt do this
generally yes
but they are not immune to bias
an individual rarely has corporate funding behind his stories
They also appeal to a certain group
Both big and small and individual
suppose that i own a newspaper which is sponsored by a bank. It's highly unlikely that after criticizing the banking sector i would receive any more funding
Those are almost all arguements in favor of the messenger determining the trustowrthtness though
Instead of the message
Its directed at determining what news to watch
But I guess
Let's assume the question applies to not current affairs in the news but let's say a research report you are given on maybe, something like, forecasts of a market you invest in, to get detail on predicting that markets safety for your money
Could be right or wrong, the author may have an interest in moving the market with the report for their own profit, does the messenger matter as t all or just the message?
that one gives me a headache
because in theory only the message and its content should matter
I agree
however if there's a clear conflict of interest an independent source is needed
Well if the message doesnt contradict its reason it is right
But the messenger is less credible as a big bias is on his part
Contradiction also includes the results there after
If the message asserts only claims that would be accepted anyways, ie. The market will continue to operate based on on currency, and not outlying assertions, then the messenger should not assune reason for me to determines the message accuracy
“ Did someone plant a story tying Paul Manafort to Julian Assange? “ by Alex Finley on Politico
The Guardian posted a debunked story on Manafort visiting Assange in London. It was easily blow out of the water. This article written by a former CIA propaganda officer and current anonymous Deep State mouthpiece for Politico is an attempt to frame that articles fraudulent claims as an attempt by Russia to discredit the journalist that wrote it. Making the hilarious claim that the information came from Russian intelligence without a single shred of evidence. This bit of fake news exhibits the
incestuous relationship between the media and the CIA.

Better question: Isn't the argument for banning fake news and harrassing alternative media that the established news organizations don't make mistakes and don't fall for Russian propaganda? This would seem to defeat that argument.
Stop pointing out hypocrisies.
Great point.
it has leaked that putin may have ties to russia
what has this world become
Lol
Well, that's a giant fucking lie for sure
Someone with ties to the country would've run the economy a tiny bit better :^)
