burnt-toast

I'm always leery of attributing bad faith to articles produced in the media. Mostly because among the journalists I know personally, they're all about as susceptible to their own biases as anyone else.

Nonetheless, the author doesn't seem to have written much of anything about Elon or his projects in the past couple years, but starting with Elon's media spat in June, he's penned this, and two other articles about him.

The article does a good job of illustrating the growing crisis among lower class people. But its framing is suspect.

If I were to suggest that the article was written in bad faith, I'd be more willing to link it to Elon's recent agitation of media figures on Twitter.

I've noticed a steep drop in the quality of results I receive from Google without the extensive use of search operators. Especially for politicized topics, I feel like I'm constantly fighting the search engine for access to a more diverse and useful spread of results. This has become such an issue that I've moved over to searx.me (meta-search engine) for the majority of my searches. While there are some edge cases where I have to move over to google (mostly image search), I feel like the results I receive from it are broadly superior to the ones I'm receiving from Google alone.
