If i see one more person spread “news” sourced to outlets like f1-insider… please actually pay attention to sources and use critical thought about where it came from. these accounts want their engagement numbers and will share information derived from a fucking reddit comment if they think it’ll earn them a few extra dollars. there’s always an off chance these bullshit tabloids are right, but they almost never are, and a legitimate source will come along if there’s any whisper of truth to it. i just beg of people to simply wait for sources with the slightest bit of credibility to their name before they start sharing information.

#i want christian fired as much as the next person but i’m going to at least wait for an even remotely real source to hint at it first #also wanna clarify upfront #this isn’t an indirect. i haven’t even scrolled my dash today #i always fear a moot will read this and feel called out when its not about them. this is just my entire twitter timeline lol #so it’s a frustration derived from there #drives me up a fucking wall. critical thought is in the toilet.#misinformation is dangerous #and it takes like 40 replies before a single person points out the source #and then theyll be like ‘could be fake but what if its true 🤯’#like oh my goooooood yeah what IF its true? thatd be crazy. but it’s almost certainly not #so why are you wasting time sitting around sharing stories that some person just invented to get clicks?#if it IS true then a real publication with legit sources and verification methods will post it #at least wait for that bare minimum #keep information from bullshit places like f1-insider to gossip in a group chat if you wanna discuss it #*
