they write something the go back and add citations AFTERWARDS

no, the citations are collected and incorporated AS you write

Ehh any evidence for this claim?

you should NOT have to rely on some fact check to give a layperson the understanding of your story

I would say for the average student yeah but most people I know who are journalist don’t cheat like that

i think they do

hell, wikipeida in ITSELF is an instance of this

if his story sounds really really good to me, I make sure that I grabbed it from a source that has a bias that's normally against me.

@ManAnimal to be frank, ain't nobody got time fo that

like if I see a story that I agree with from The wire, I go and check with HuffPost and see if it appeared over there. Or USA today.

I like to compare as many different papers as I can and then see what facts are the same across the mall

The check every site thing

Trust but verify you feel?

Dear God that sent it completely out of order

U consider Wikipedia ur average journalists?

take each of your sources, look up their sources. do they have sources? look up. keep going until no more sources

seems a bit much

wikipedia isnt a "news source'

I didn't say Wikipedia was a new source

it isn't a SOURCE period

some articles are obvious horse shit

It's an aggregator of sources god dammit

it's a reference

ehhh, everything's a source

it just depends on how accurate that source is

hence my point

but a lot of wikipedia is pretty accurate

What if your source got them from someone else yes. That doesn't make him a source, makes him a second source and your primary sources over at

goto the original

a lot of wikipedia is sourced

"I'm a source." -Falco, 2019

However it can be noted

There are apparently false claims about Tim pool in his Wikipedia article

wikipedia is good enoug fro a plebe

not for a jounralist or an author

But when he went to go and get it corrected, Wikipedia said no, because Huffington Post was a better source than the man himself

~NEVER a scientist

So they chose Huffington Post fake article over tim himself saying that it's fake

there IS no 'BETTER SOURCE'

only a 'source tree'

damn i hate that notion
