    I’m surprised YouTube and Google News are listed as news outlets. They don’t create news content, they aggregate it. Arguments can be made about biasing which content is shown first, but not about the content itself, which is owned by the other entities on the list

      Except some content is produced independently (of those outlets) by “influencers”, hence it makes sense to list them. Furthermore, I bet that for a huge proportion of the later generations these influencers are the main avenue to consuming News… specially if we added tiktoks, X, and all the crap.

        I think it depends on the intent in the groupings. Is it money flow? Then it makes sense. Is it editorial influence? Then it seems to make less sense.
