Person: “I like reading the news everyday, so I get the newspaper. I can trust it”

Me: “Really? I dislike the newspaper. It only comes out once a day and can’t be updated. You don’t get people commenting on it so you don’t know if they’ve printed something wrong. Breaking news doesn’t get posted. Plus it’s big and cumbersome, you get ink on your hands, and your left an apartment full of garbage.”

Person: “Yeah, but anyone can post online”

Me: “Exactly. If I’m watching shootouts, or riots, I can post what’s going on.”

And so on.
