In a Twitter rant, Elon Musk just vowed to create a news credibility rating site called 'Pravda' — here's how that's connected to Russia
http://archive.li/KCKOg
Elon Musk is apparently hoping to take a page out of the Soviet playbook.
It all started when, on Wednesday afternoon, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO criticized the media in a series of tweets.
"The holier-than-thou hypocrisy of big media companies who lay claim to the truth, but publish only enough to sugarcoat the lie, is why the public no longer respects them," he wrote.
Several minutes later, Musk followed up by tweeting that he plans to start a site that would rate the credibility of news organizations. He wrote that he would consider calling the site "Pravda," a word that means "truth" in Russian.
"Pravda" references the Russian newspaper of the same name, which launched in Moscow in the early 20th century and published daily. It still exists today, but has a much lower circulation and comes out three times per week. The paper is now run by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, the country's modern Communist party.

I'd give all media a 0 on trust until they can show they deserve anything else. at least 90% of what I see ends up being an editorial or highly slanted view of what is happening. The only fact I believe over the last few days is that there is indeed lava coming up from the ground in Hawaii.

Re: Russia! Russia!! Russia!!!
Remember when they told us for months and months that 17 US Intelligence Agencies agreed Russians affected the election to help Trump. We were told that for months, for the oldest and most respectable media organizations in the country and around the globe.
They admitted that was false in the middle of last Summer. But here's the deeper truth behind that.

Clapper grabbed a few political operatives and spies in 3 agencies, made up the lie and had every news agency in the world repeating it.Clapper broke with tradition and decided not to put the assessment out to all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies for review. Instead, he limited input to a couple dozen chosen analysts from just three agencies — the CIA, NSA and FBI. Agencies with relevant expertise on Russia, such as the Department of Homeland Security, Defense Intelligence Agency and the State Department’s intelligence bureau, were excluded from the process......................
the House Intelligence Committee’s 250-page report also found that the ICA did not properly describe the “quality and credibility of underlying sources” and was not “independent of political considerations."

And they still had to rely on what they were given from Crowdstrike. They never had access to the raw data themselves. The whole thing was bullshit from the start.
