My issue is that he takes them as fact. He’s literally up there using stuff that cannot be verified because it didn’t happen as evidence. I get people like the news being stolen for them, but to say he posts “facts” and “information” is a bit of a stretch, since he has absolutely zero insight as to what is a fact and what is fiction.

Do any of us have any insight as to what is fact and fiction? No. He is reporting what sticks behind paywalls and also what the "industry news sites / whatever" are reporting as news. This is the way any reporting works, and the same methodology any reporter uses, doubly so in the entertainment industry.


I don't see Smeat going around saying "THIS IS 100% VERIFIABLE FACT!!! FUCKING FIGHT ME!". In fact, he's made MANY "correction" posts when information becomes available that may invalidate something he posted earlier.



Rather, he reports the news which he finds and posts it. If it doesn't fit your narrative or whatever, you take issue with HIM and not the actual source of the news. As much as smeetzsheetz.com should be an awesome website, it isn't his.


It would be like getting pissed off at the news anchor for reading whats on the teleprompter, or watching a news channel you dislike just so you can scream at it. Go for the source if you actually give a damn like you say. THEY are the ones throwing out "misinformation".
