VET YOUR NEWS SOURCES
if you cannot vet an account pushing "news", no matter how legit they might seem, DO NOT USE THEM AS A NEWS SOURCE.
it's one thing if the account is just posting links to corporate or indy media. it's a completely different thing when they're supposedly live-blogging from places of conflict.
there's a lot of stuff i ignore from Gaza, Ukraine and now Venezuela because i cannot vet the sources.
thousands or millions of followers mean nothing, btw 🧵
yes, it's me, liza :) /
