Twitter is as reliable as FR, when there is a source. Twitter is actually an amazing place to get high quality news. You have to follow high quality accounts though.

Key bit there: “when there is a source”

There’s a lot of disinformation and fake news there. A good rule is to check who is posting, and whether he has a track record.

The reason I ask is that as far as I know, ALL of the social “media” is unreliable since it is opinions being posted.
That is why I have no interest in using it.
To me they are a complete cesspool.

With FR at least you have links to news stories from around the world that can be verified.
