Poll: The most trusted news source for young men
A new poll shows that men 18-45 believe that long-form podcasts are more trustworthy than traditional news sources like cable news and legacy media networks. Eighteen percent of men 18-45 selected long form podcasts like the one hosted by comedian Joe Rogan and the Ruthless Podcast as the most trustworthy and honest source of information about politics and government, according to polling from National Research, Inc. exclusively shared with the Daily Mail. Fourteen percent of men in the same age demographic chose social media from X and TikTok as the most trustworthy news sources, followed by 14 percent who cited legacy and cable news networks like ABC, CBS, CNN and NBC/MSNBC. xTwelve percent of young men cited newspapers like the New York Times and the Washington Post. Another 12 percent chose the liberal cable news channel MSNBC with 28 percent saying they were 'not sure.' The poll of 1,000 registered voters in the United States was conducted by the Republican pollster. 'What we are seeing is a massive shift in how younger people and Republicans consume news and information and I think podcasts like Ruthless and Rogan are really out the forefront of this,' Adam Geller, the CEO of National Research Inc. told the Daily Mail. Overall, 20 percent of Americans consider conservative cable news networks like Fox News more trustworthy followed closely by legacy media outlets at 17 percent. But the trend for younger voters toward podcast was notable, Geller said. He said he threw the question in about podcasts in his polling routine and included the name of the Ruthless Podcast with Rogan's podcast to get perspective from younger voters. Geller said his own media habits shifted during the election, and grew to enjoy both Rogan and the Ruthless podcast, hosted by Republican political operatives Josh Holmes, John Ashbrook, Michael Duncan, and 'Comfortably Smug' in Washington, DC. 'Trust in the media is going down,' he said. 'I do find it very, very informative.' While Joe Rogan consistently tops all podcast rankings, Ruthless currently sits at #30 in politics and #95 in news, according to Apple podcast charts. The Ruthless podcast built up their audience during the 2024 campaign, most notably going on a fishing trip with Trump's running mate Sen. JD Vance and frequently appearing with journalist Megyn Kelly on her podcast to comment on the presidential race. The trend toward podcasts and the Trump campaign's ability to seize on that trend helped the president win in 2024. The Ruthless podcast grew in influence after one of the hosts John Ashbrook appeared in the 'new media seat' created by Trump press officials in the White House press briefing room. Ashbrook's viral appearance at the White House press briefing in January, helped them reach new levels of popularity and grow their subscriber base.

How to Determine if Health Information Online Is Trustworthy
To evaluate whether health information you've found online is reliable, you can consider its sources, evaluate it for bias, and check it against what trustworthy sources are saying on the topic. Whether you're searching for information on a particular health condition, evaluating a creator's claims about a product or practice, or trying to stay up-to-date on public health issues, many different voices share health information online, and some of them may be contradictory. Some general best practices to keep in mind include: Seek accurate, trustworthy information from doctors and researchers: You're less likely to get accurate, widely applicable information from people without medical training or a medical research background. Consider what experts (and prior research) agree on: If something you've seen disagrees with what is generally accepted in the medical community, there should be high quality research to back it up and many reliable experts weighing in on it. Medical research and guidance may change over time with additional information, but if there isn't a lot of human research supporting a change, the information probably isn't reliable. Accept medical advice only from a healthcare professional: The human body is complex. A medical professional can best evaluate whether or not a particular treatment or practice may work for you, given your individual medical information. Some advice you may find online can possibly endanger your health, so caution is best. Be cautious, if the information sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't: Common red flags include miracle cures, false claims of conspiracy, and secret information someone doesn't want you to know. Keep reading to learn more about finding reliable health information online, including identifying reliable sources, evaluating sources for bias, and finding additional support for those claims among experts. What are the most reliable sources of health information? Many different reliable sources of health information are available online. They may include: Government websites You can usually find reliable health information on government and international agency websites. These may include: National Institutes of Health (NIH) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Health Service (NHS) World Health Organization (WHO) National Library of Medicine (Stat Pearls, MedlinePlus) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) These websites often offer information for the public (meaning, you don't need to have a medical or research background to understand it). They also usually cite specific research that supports the points they make, which you can cross-check. Medical associations You can also get trustworthy information from medical associations. Licensed medical professionals in a speciality form these groups. Examples include: The American Medical Association (AMA) The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) The American Academy of Dermatology Association (AADA) The American Dental Association (ADA) American Psychological Association (APA) American Psychiatric Association (APA) These groups may publish recommendations for treating certain health conditions and provide general information on their websites and social media platforms. Nonprofit and research organizations You can also find quality medical information through large, national nonprofit organizations, such as advocacy organizations. However, it's important to still evaluate these sources for possible conflicts of interest and make sure the content they're sharing has been vetted by a medical professional. Examples include: American Cancer Society (ACS) American Heart Association (AHA) Canadian Cancer Society Canadian Society of Intestinal Research (GI Society) National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Medical research If you're looking for new medical research, you can often find that large research organizations share press releases about new research findings and that reputable national news publications may write stories about them. You can look at the research available in medical journals on a particular topic. Types of medical research can include: research studies clinical trials reviews of research and clinical trials You can search for these on PUBMED through the National Library of Medicine. Some things to look for include: Studies in humans: For the most applicable information, look for studies involving humans rather than animals (in vivo) or cells in test tubes (in vitro). For instance, how a rat or a test tube of human cells reacts to a substance may not be how the human body reacts to it. A lot of research uses animal and test tube studies, that is then evaluated in humans in further studies. Reviews of research: Research reviews involve researchers compiling the results of multiple studies to draw larger conclusions and propose additional research. Again, look for reviews that focus on research in humans for more applicable information. Larger studies: Studies involving large numbers of people (hundreds to thousands or more) usually have more reliable and applicable results than those involving smaller groups. Studies in small numbers of people are often repeated in larger groups if they're deemed successful and safe. Conflicts of interest: Published research requires researchers to identify conflicts of interest. For example, if a research study on the effectiveness of a skin care product was funded by the skin care product's company, the researchers have to state that. Peer review: Research published in reputable medical journals undergoes a peer review process before it's accepted for publication. Look for mentions that other experts in the field reviewed the research. Evaluating creator content and firsthand experiences Many health content creators want to help others by sharing what they've learned. However, it's important to evaluate whether they are an accurate source of information and whether the information shared is accurate. Some things to look for include: Sources: Consider the source of the information and the creators' sources. Not sharing their sources or basing their information on unreliable sources is a red flag. Always check if their sources and information contradict established, trustworthy sources. Bias and conflicts of interest: Conflicts of interest can be financial, ideological, or professional. Ask yourself what the creator is getting out of sharing this content. Is the creator making money or increasing their status by promoting a particular product, brand, or ideology? Consider how this might affect what they say about it. Credentials and licensure: If the creator is a licensed medical professional or a medical organization, you can find their credentials online. If they have had their medical credentials retracted or have been involved in medical scandals, they are not a good source for medical information. Backed by research: Do the claims the creator is making sound too good to be true? Can you find the information they're sharing backed up by reputable sources above? If you can't find reliable support for their claims, they are probably not accurate. AI-generated: If the information was AI-generated, it's especially important to verify it against reputable, reliable sources. While AI can be an important tool in the medical field, many topics are too complex or nuanced to be explained by AI summaries without expert oversight. People may also use AI to generate fictitious information and false videos and photos, so it's best practice to be skeptical and research the information through other means. Product claims: Many platforms require a person to declare if the content is sponsored, but having sponsors may also affect content that isn't specifically sponsored. If the creator is promoting a specific product or brand, consider how promoting it may benefit them and how that may affect their message. You can look for consumer reviews on other websites and review the brand on the Better Business Bureau (BBB). It's also best to talk with a healthcare professional before using any new medical devices, products, supplements, or eating plans. First-hand experience You may find that creators with a particular health condition provide accurate and engaging first-hand experiences of living with that condition. They may have tips and advice from their lived experience. Some websites also have forums where people with a particular health condition can share their experiences. However, it's important to keep in mind that the human body is complex and that one person's experience might not necessarily reflect others'. While the information you receive from creators may be a good starting point for research or for talking about with a healthcare professional, it's not a good idea to accept it immediately without further investigation. Remember, it is illegal for medical professionals to give medical advice online without seeing a patient in their practice. If you're looking to connect with other people with your condition, resources like Healthline's Bezzy communities offer an online safe space of community, peer and expert guidance, and support.

How InMyExpertOpinion Is Battling AI Product Reviews
Frustrated by AI-generated product reviews flooding platforms and confusing consumers, four former colleagues came together to build and launch InMyExpertOpinion, a site devoted to providing "trustworthy, insightful, and authentically human advice." Here's how co-founders Avi Buchbinder, Brie Dyas, Will Kenton, and Nick Leftley created the site and are planning for its growth. Please give the elevator pitch of your business. Will Kenton: InMyExpertOpinion, or IMEO, is a new kind of review platform — built by humans, for humans. At a time when AI slop and fake reviews flood the internet, IMEO offers something rare: honest, first-hand product reviews from real experts. Founded by veteran journalists and trusted reviewers from major outlets like TIME, AP, and HuffPost, IMEO emerged after the 2024 Google update pushed credible content out of sight. We're reclaiming the web for quality, transparency, and trust — one expert opinion at a time. Related: 'I Got the Feeling I Was Hitting the Glass Ceiling': This Entrepreneur Quit Her Corporate Job to Start Her Own Agency. It's Projected to Make $31.5 Million in Revenue This Year. What inspired you to create this business? Avi Buchbinder: The inspiration for this business struck me as I observed two significant shifts happening simultaneously. Firstly, after Google's policy changes led to layoffs for many talented journalists, and with the rapid rise of AI tools like ChatGPT and AI Overviews, I was wondering if people actually wanted to learn about products from people, or if the information slapped together by AI is enough. So, I started to dig into that question. It became pretty clear from talking to coworkers, friends, and seeing posts on Reddit that a lot of people were skeptical of AI-generated content when it came to product reviews. They were really searching for authentic takes from real people they could trust. That's when it clicked. Brie Dyas: I have the unique perspective of having been an editor who has worked in shopping-related content since 2012, and also a consultant who has worked with ecommerce brands and startups. I strongly believe in a consumer-first perspective because the purchases we choose to make with our hard-earned money (at any income level) impact our lives. No one wants to spend thousands on a mattress that keeps you up at night or an e-bike with a faulty battery, a hundred on running shoes that contribute to foot problems or fall apart on your workout, or even a $15 moisturizer that could give you a rash. Consumers are frustrated. So am I. Nick Leftley: Google's AI updates were a moment of brutal clarity for all of us: Not only had our already sickly industry been further decimated by these updates, but the millions of people who rely on Google daily to find helpful buying information were being screwed over en masse, all, supposedly, in the name of making a "better" user experience. We're tackling both issues at the same time: Firstly, providing a reliable, unbiased platform for well-written, useful reviews written by real journalists. Secondly, making sure those journalists get fairly compensated for once! That's why we came up with the revenue-sharing model we've built, where the revenue every article makes is split 50/50 on a monthly basis, with half going to the writer and the other half being invested back into the business itself. Related: 'We Didn't Know We Could Do That!' These Co-Founders Built a Unique Photography Business That Tapped an Unexpected Need — And Now Is Found in 60 Cities What advice would you give entrepreneurs looking for funding? Avi Buchbinder: If you don't 100% believe in your product, no one else will. What does the word "entrepreneur" mean to you? Avi Buchbinder: To me, it means a person with a vision whose passion and self-starter mentality fuel the drive to actually make it happen. Brie Dyas: I think of someone who isn't happy with the status quo. What is something many aspiring business owners think they need that they really don't? Avi Buchbinder: A perfect product. In the world of business, you don't need perfect — you need good enough for now. Brie Dyas: Second, third, and fourth opinions. There is comfort in consensus, but I've often found (when working alongside founders, VPs, and CEOs) that their gut feeling is usually right. Don't overthink things. Is there a particular quote or saying that you use as personal motivation? Brie Dyas: As a Philadelphia Eagles fan, Jalen Hurts is an endless supply of motivation. I always loved his quote, "I didn't walk through fire just to smell smoke." To me, it's a reminder that no matter the challenges you face, remind yourself of your purpose and keep going. Related: He Started His Business in the Corner of His Apartment, Asking His Roommates to Pretend They Worked There. Now His Company Is Worth 9 Figures: 'Hard Work Makes Anything Possible.' Nick Leftley: This is going to sound super basic, but mine comes from a Tarantino movie. There's a scene in Reservoir Dogs where Joe says, "You knew how to handle that situation: S*** your pants, dive in, and swim." It's a quote that pops unbidden into my head any time I'm about to do something scary. (As someone who's been set on fire, wrestled an alligator, dangled under a flying helicopter, and worse, all for various magazine stories, I can speak with authority on doing scary stuff.) I still think it holds water. Sometimes, you just have to embrace the fear and do it. Avi Buchbinder: A saying that I hold as a strong personal motivator is, "A day that you learned something new is a day not wasted." This simple yet profound idea is something I actively use to drive me to grow and improve. It serves as a powerful daily reminder that progress, in any form, really hinges on continuous learning. Will Kenton: For me, it's a quote from Walt Disney: "The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing." This has been our philosophy from the start. We conceived of IMEO as a place for people who will do, instead of letting their opinions get outsourced.

Not all leaders shout — Nahrizul Adib Kadri
MAY 29 — I was never the loud one. Not in school. Not at family gatherings. Not in lecture halls, faculty meetings, or boardrooms. I've never felt the need to raise my voice just to be seen. I don't dominate a room. I don't seek the centre. But I've always been there. And over time, I've come to realise: being loud isn't the same as being effective. And presence doesn't require volume. We live in a world that often rewards noise. The loudest voices get the clicks. The most confident ones, the spotlight. The extroverted, the assertive, the performative — they're labelled natural leaders. But here's the truth: visibility isn't leadership. And performance isn't presence. Back in school, I wasn't the most brilliant, nor the most charismatic. I was somewhere in the middle — quiet, observant, a little nerdy. I didn't attract crowds, but I built friendships that spanned groups: the overachievers, the rebels, the in-betweens. I was the guy who would listen while others talked, who helped organise without demanding credit. Somehow, that made me trustworthy. And maybe that's why I ended up as president of the Arts Club — not because I asked for it, but because people knew I'd show up, get things done, and treat everyone fairly. That moment taught me something that stayed with me: leadership isn't about drawing attention. It's about holding responsibility — even when no one's watching. Years later, that same quiet rhythm carried into my professional life. As an academic, I've led departments, managed student communities, sat on panels, and even directed a corporate communications centre for a major university. I've helped the Universiti Malaya (UM) community (lecturers, staff, students) to appear in the media nearly 2,000 times. But you won't find me making grand speeches or chasing virality. My approach is different. Quieter. More deliberate. I lead by doing. By writing. By connecting people. By creating room for others to grow. Silence isn't awkward; it's respectful. Pauses carry meaning. What is not said can be just as powerful as what is. Speaking less doesn't mean knowing less; it often means knowing when to speak. — Unsplash pic And still, I've never needed to shout. Malcolm Gladwell, in his 2013 book David and Goliath, talks about the 'advantage of disadvantage.' He reframes how we see strength. David didn't win because he defied the odds — he won because he understood the odds better. Goliath was heavy and slow. David was agile and precise. What looked like weakness — being small, being quiet, being underestimated — was actually an edge. The same can be said for leadership. What we dismiss as passivity might actually be perspective. What we see as indecision might be reflection. Being quiet doesn't mean you're unsure. It often means you're thinking. Planning. Choosing your words carefully. That kind of leadership — the kind that listens more than it talks — is desperately needed today. Some cultures understand this better than others. In Japan, there's a deep cultural appreciation for ma — the space between things. It's found in music, in design, in conversation. Silence isn't awkward; it's respectful. Pauses carry meaning. What is not said can be just as powerful as what is. Speaking less doesn't mean knowing less — it often means knowing when to speak. Imagine how different our institutions, classrooms, and boardrooms would be if we respected that principle more. If we didn't equate noise with knowledge. If we made space for quiet leadership to rise. I see this often in my students and colleagues. The ones who speak softly but think deeply. The ones who hesitate before answering, not because they're unsure, but because they're weighing their words. I make a point to notice them. To encourage them. Because I know what it feels like to be overlooked simply because you're not loud. And I know what it feels like to carry weight silently. So, if you've ever felt like you don't fit the mould of a 'typical' leader — if you're the one who stays in the background, who observes more than you interrupt, who writes rather than performs — I want to tell you this: you don't need to raise your voice to raise the bar. You don't have to be loud to lead. You don't have to be the centre of attention to make a difference. Let your work speak. Let your presence speak. And when it's your time to speak, make sure it matters. Because not all leaders shout. Some listen first. Some build from the edges. Some lead with calm, with care, with quiet consistency. And in the end, when the noise fades, it's often their impact that lasts the longest. * Ir Nahrizul Adib Kadri is a professor of biomedical engineering at the Faculty of Engineering, and the Principal of Ibnu Sina Residential College, Universiti Adib Kadri is a professor of biomedical engineering at the Faculty of Engineering, and the Principal of Ibnu Sina Residential College, Universiti Adib Kadri is a professor of biomedical engineering at the Faculty of Engineering, and the principal of Ibnu Sina Residential College, Universiti Malaya.
