social media posts which are, I think dfferent from"news sources." Though, as I recall, there are some disposed to outright dismissal of various left-wing news sources as well, alleging undue sensationalism. exaggeration, and 'click bait headlines' (as if the last weren't a thing).

I even saw one post in which the op apologized for use of the source upon which the post was based. (whaa?)

And while we certainly don't want to knowingly post outright fabrications, I do think wholesale dismissals of our left-wing news sources because of an errant story or so, also do us a disservice - especially in the wake of MSM capitulations to the reich.
