      1917 editor Lee Smith reveals the truth about Sam Mendes' one-shot film

      This is my favourite passage from this article:

      He asked [a journalist] how long the film shoot was; she looked at her notes, said four months. How many days a week? Five.

      Do you think they never turned the camera off, he said; just do the maths. "And she went, 'Oh, right'."

      I find this to be a pretty important question when news organizations like Fox News are literally aiming to help the Republican Party to stay on power, CNN and MSNBC promote centrist candidates and media aggregators ranging from r/the_donald to r/chapotraphouse banning anyone who opposes them. Thing is, these are the most well known examples. How could we tell faulty media sources and aggregators apart from good ones in mass? Do you think that's possible?
