Experts Say TikTok Is Now A Primary News Source

A bombshell report from the Center for Media Regression has confirmed that 62% of young Americans now get their �breaking news� exclusively from TikTok, usually sandwiched between a skincare haul and a cat in a cowboy hat. The study noted that viral clips like �Five Signs The Economy Is Collapsing, #GRWM Edition� routinely outperform CNN in engagement. In Miami, a 19-year-old influencer went viral after live-reacting to election results while applying contour, with viewers praising her �balanced coverage and flawless blending.� Critics argue that TikTok journalism reduces complex events to dance trends, citing the now infamous �Inflation Shimmy.� Yet, defenders insist it�s no worse than cable news, which often relies on holograms and dramatic countdown clocks. For now, scholars warn that democracy itself may hinge on whether teens remember to fact-check before sharing. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
