The idea that primary sources are less valuable is insane. What do you mean you can’t trust it? All secondary and tertiary sources build off of primary sources. How can a link to a primary source be more trustworthy than the actual source?
Links are not primary sources, there are no primary sources in this article, as opposed to Thrush’s. Every link in there besides nyt goes to a msnow article that does the exact same thing as this article: just summarize somebody else’s news gathering. If NYT is a hack, msnow is the hack’s hack. I actually do agree with you that nyt is trash, but that’s not the point, the point is that a lot of articles in this community are just copping stories from journalists that actually do the work. And every click on msnow is another death blow for some aspiring journalist that won’t be able to find a job.
He’s not a bystander though, he is encouraging racist ideas and thoughts. I see spreading hate as a bad thing, and the fact that Alex Jones or this guy got rich off it makes me actually more angry, not impressed by his hustle.
I hate this is called journalism. The ‘journalist’ Steve Benen didn’t do shit, Glenn Thrush did
A summary of a news article adds nothing and takes true credit away from actual news sources. Be better @MicroWave@lemmy.world
Pounds is force, newtons is also force. You even converted it correctly; you wouldn’t be able to do that with like grams or any other mass unit. The only reason we use pounds and mass interchangeably is that we all experience pretty similar gravity all over the world, so a certain mass will generally exert the same amount of force regardless where it is on the Earth’s surface or what it’s made of.
I think I’ve made clear I don’t think msnow does journalism, so no, their interns also won’t get experience doing journalism. Msnow only takes away eyeballs and moneys from the people that actually work on the first draft of history.
