      It is not wise to solely take news at face value. I always do a little digging into something whenever I hear any news on it myself.

        I’d say that from what I’ve seen, Louis isn’t interested in spreading disinformation.

        But I would also still do a little digging; it’s just a healthy way to process the content you consume. If you aren’t willing to audit your opinion, then your opinion holds little water in an objective conversation.

          He’s definitely not and I would agree with the sentiment that he is a reliable source of information, but remember that all people make mistakes sometimes. Treat the news as a notification, not a source of information.

            What really makes him credible is he literally calls himself out in videos when information changes or he makes mistakes.

            • “When I said, xyz, don’t listen to me. I was wrong/lied.”
            • " [company name] changed their stance/policy and my previous statements are outdated."

            He also tells viewers and readers all the time to come to their own conclusions and do their own research.
