There is an article in The Canary explaining exactly why these sites are so unreliable (corrupt, IMO). I don't know how to share links to this forum but if you or someone could it would totally back up what you are saying. Sorry to be tech useless 😔 It's titled "No, DWP PIP isn't being axed, despite corporate news headlines"

I understand completely it's the domino effect and I totally get being the strong one all the time is impossible then we best ourselves up the only way through this is to go through it if that makes sense I tried so hard to make my world invisible myself invisible and was triggered by rishi sunak everything your saying I felt to I couldn't talk to no one and when I did I was roaring crying stomach constantly flipping panic attacks like you it's so hard and your feeling this for a reason maybe allow yourself to feel and then if you can say enough no more sorry I hope I'm not lecturing you I just really understand I hate to think people suffer like that also my daughter and dad was so worried for me oh I understand bank thing I'm terrible with money started panicking then I thought god I bet I'm not the only one bad with money because I felt that kick in the stomach happening said nope done noting wrong and your not sensitive your caring everyone has thier limit most important thing is you and how you will get through this ? Mine is always time it's never immediately do you have anyone to speak to I look at life like ever decreasing circles I've tried so hard to keep away from people from society I don't want to go on UC I'm dreading it with a passion it's something I can't get out of or control I've had to try to stop worrying like you it was eating me alive I have noting more to give them draw strenght that you will get through this and think of all the things you've overcome this shall pass and talking and expressing is a really good thing to do helps me xx

Oh yes its masking that your OK is draining or if you try to explain to people thier like oh here she goes again gaslighting making feel bad I used to say yes to everything absolutely everything couldn't imagine saying No I thought oh they think I'm a bad person thier walk out my life even though they was toxic I still hang on for dear life 2017 I started therapy once a week with group once a week with therapist and talking to the group gave me validation that I wasn't a bad person because i couldn't look after Tara's kids so she could go out just everything worrying over people neglecting myself getting so overwhelmed I verbally abuse family then I'd feel awful continuing cycle draining it's hard enough having mental health masking like if I show myself I show the devil in me now the person or people I focus on is myself alot better at that and my daughter dad so if your having a horrid time it's OK doesn't feel OK but we are only human being bombarded with everything at once it's hughly overwhelming so validation for your feelings they matter hope you get some rest for today xx

I'm going to save this post and talk with the team about how we can use it to help others find more reliable sources. We'll need to check them ourselves so we know we're giving out correct information. Not that we don't believe you, we just have to be sure. Thanks so much, it's definitely helping people already 😊

One thing I've noticed about the media, is how hot and cold they are when talking about benefits. One minute they're scaring people, saying that benefits will be scrapped* and the next they're talking about "perks" to being on certain benefits. The use of the word "perks", implies we get special treatment for being disabled, when those perks allow us to navigate a society that isn't designed for us and make our lives easier.
*No benefits are being scrapped. I was using that as an example of how the media manipulates people using clickbait to make money.

There is nothing inherently wrong with getting a newspaper in that list. It's just that many of the organisations in that list have, now and then, put out content which is fearmongering or just not accurate at all, or both.
As Ironside says quite eloquently, many of these media organisations will also be quite contradictory of themselves in different articles. The point is to gain clicks and play on peoples emotions. Whether the emotion is fear with 'you're going to get your benefits taken away', or anger when they put out content about 'how good "scroungers" on benefits have it'.

Apparently Reach (owner of Birmingham Live etc) are in trouble. This is why there is constant clickbait articles. They need money, but they are exploitiexploiting the fears of disabled people to get it. Disgusting!
