Those "three sources" may all be referencing a single, common source. Maybe it's accurate, maybe it isn't.

I feel bad for "journalism" because now there are thousands of writers on the internet with no formal or accurate training, or no compulsion to have a journalistic ethic of verifying your source.
Also, I don't ever read an article now without looking for the agenda. More times than not, every article, story, review, has an agenda behind it. Maybe life has always been that way but since the internet has blossomed agenda writing has spread like a plague.
Review sites are the worse. No real quantitative reviews, just a list of common "products" and all are affiliate linked for your convenience. At least some folks are up front about that now.
I have to remind my wife constantly - not to read a story take it as face value every time. I have trained her to be more careful. I have failed.....ha. She is from Kazahkstan so reads Russia news stories. We have had some "debates" over the truthfulness of many of the articles she claims are authentic.
