I'm not sure I get your comment... I learned that crossing different official and reliable sources was the best way to get most of any information bit. Taking the overlapping information as the most reliable one.
Care to simplify what you're meaning, so even stupid me can understand?
Thank you !
news outlets doing their own reporting is a good thing, news outlets waiting to see what others report, or reporting news from a other outlet is a bad thing.
sometimes getting lots of different sources doesn't amount to much if they all come from the same source, or are reporting deliberately in-favour/contrarian to another news source
