I have absolutely no idea who Caitlyn Johnstone is. What are her credentials, and why should I read her stuff?

Please give me examples of this “MSM bullshit” you refer to. Is everything coming out of the mainstream media 100% true? No, of course not. Network news and major dailies make mistakes from time to time, and they’ve screwed stuff up before. However, when they get caught with egg on their face, they generally own up to it, so a false story doesn’t last long. And no, the MSM isn’t all “fake news” just because Trump says it is. However, with the exception of PBS and NPR, they’re definitely corporate profit-making entities. This means they are less likely to have any allegiance to a particular political ideology (with the possible exception of Fox News) as much as they have allegiance to ratings and making money. However, they still have to strive to be as truthful as they can, because loss of credibility means loss of ratings, loss of ad dollars, and loss of profit.
