I mean, given all the news sites are garbage and push clickbait/engagement bait rather than any real news, it’s probably more reliable!

ngl my life is better this way. News is almost all rage bait shit and all it does is stress me out. I’m happier with my head in the sand. Anything important enough I’ll find out soon through people or dank memes.

Memes are made by real people who aren't paid to lie on air

I mean memes would in some cases be higher quality journalism than the news. Which is kinda sad.

I'll tell ya one thing, and I'm not ashamed to say it: my estimation of you as a reliable source of information has just fucking plummeted

I mean... that's kinda on you for trusting them as your source of information. Their information was certainly canned to begin with.

He's an emotional man, he loves his memes.
