Serious Q: Is it *ever* a good idea for the typical person to read current events journalism as it’s published? Is it not just strictly better to wait 6-12 weeks, start w/ the Wikipedia entry, then work back through whichever pieces seem to acknowledge most of the relevant facts?

Wikipedia has been compromised by digital maoists... Many things happen too fast to understand them outside of the event, but it really depends on the frequency you're trying to capture.

Might not apply to Kids These Days, but I feel that part of the benefit of using Wikipedia as the fact-aggregator is that I & just about everyone else who went through the school system during the 90s/early 00s had an innate skepticism of Wikipedia deeply embedded in our psyches

Unfortunately we were not taught to treat real-time news sources the same way
