If I have to fact-check the uncited claims made in news articles, doesn't that make me the journalist?

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

ITT: the justification for civics education.
Could you elaborate?
Enough with the spammy questions. I'm not going to convince you and vice versa, and nobody is reading because the conversation has moved on. Good night.
Well, given the current votes on your comment ^[1]^, I'd argue on the contrary.
References
First, I try to stay open to other people's opinions. Second, I simply wasn't sure what your comment was referring to — I was hoping that you could clarify what you meant.
Spamming wasn't my intention. All of my comments have been made in good faith. At any rate, questions seeking clarification or elaboration wouldn't be necessary if you weren't engaging in conjecture — which is rather ironic given the topic of this post.
