I've been trying to build a habit lately of finding the primary source of news like this, especially since news agencies seem to be very hit or miss with whether they link to their primary source.

So for whoever is interested, this is the original announcement by TSMC themselves: https://pr.tsmc.com/english/news/2977



Thanks, that's a really cool habit! Has this lead to any changes re how you perceive news? How far does news tend to deviate from the sources you find?


The most common pattern I’ve noticed is that news publications will typically include small snippets from the primary source, and then fill the bulk of their article with what amounts to opinion commentary.

It ends up being something that’s technically factual (at best), but spends most of its time trying to convince you of how to feel about the info, rather than just relaying information to you.

This has also inspired me to build a news aggregator site that consists entirely of primary sources like government agencies, company/organization announcements, and statements directly from the person in question on their verified social media.
