    I’d say that from what I’ve seen, Louis isn’t interested in spreading disinformation.

    But I would also still do a little digging; it’s just a healthy way to process the content you consume. If you aren’t willing to audit your opinion, then your opinion holds little water in an objective conversation.

      He’s definitely not and I would agree with the sentiment that he is a reliable source of information, but remember that all people make mistakes sometimes. Treat the news as a notification, not a source of information.

        What really makes him credible is he literally calls himself out in videos when information changes or he makes mistakes.

        • “When I said, xyz, don’t listen to me. I was wrong/lied.”
        • " [company name] changed their stance/policy and my previous statements are outdated."

        He also tells viewers and readers all the time to come to their own conclusions and do their own research.

          He also comes clean and informs his viewers if it turns out he made a mistake which I appreciate
