As close as it gets to receiving the news from an official source. You can
guarantee that the information presented is verified and coming from a reputable
source, not just speculation.
Tier 2
By no means a bad source, just a level below Tier 1. Information shared by the
source can be seen as trustworthy, just not as much as Tier 1. Occasionally it can
also be interpreted as Tier 1.5 with some asterisks attached.
Tier 3
We're entering the hit and miss, 50/50 territory here. Source might have some
insider information, but might as well have a rich history of wrong reports. You
wouldn't trust them by all means, information could very well be false. Critical
reader discretion and common sense here is strongly advised.
Tier 4
Untrustworthy journalists or media sources who could occasionally be right once in
a while, but usually not the case. clickbait, sensational titles and so on.
Tier 5
This is the worst tier reserved for media and so called journalists which are only
interested in clickbait and have no insight or credibility whatsoever.
