They don't trust mainstream media - wise - so they instead get their news from TikTok and find themselves distressed that nobody is investigating Katy Perry for murdering a nun.
>A recent study by Google's Jigsaw unit, published alongside the University of Cambridge and Gemic, found this to be the case on TikTok as early as 2018 – the year it debuted in the US – with a participant investigating a rumor that Katy Perry had killed a nun.
>"They were disappointed to find no stories from major news sources that definitively answered this question," the study says. "They went to TikTok and concluded that if Katy Perry fans hadn't weighed in, the story must not be true. They trusted Katy Perry fans, who engaged with and reported on her activities daily, to know the truth."
So yes, there are even worse places to get your news than The Verge, incredible though that may seem.
