...although as you stated later they took great pains to confirm everything with other sources before publishing.
Which is what legitimate investigative journalists still do. But today we have opinion masquerading as news, without any checks and balances. Sort of like this thread
I guess for me the difference is I don’t expect an entertainment personality, like Oprah, to function like Christiane Amanpour.
What I find more troubling is the divisiveness...when we retreat to our “sides” and automatically dismiss whatever the “other” is saying simply because “they” are saying it.
I would hate to promote vaccine refusal because two would be celebrities are involved with an event...we literally have a “news” personality supporting anti vaxers because he doesn’t like the messenger ("Some creepy old guy telling your children, your little kids to take medicine whose effects we do not fully understand.")
That worries me a lot more than anything a former actress and her ex pat husband do to extend their 15 minutes.
