Not to defend the stupidity that does exist on Tiktok, but reputable sources often post their news and extra content on Tiktok, and Tiktok often the only way to access it. “Proper news” in the form of articles tends to be more jargony and needs to confirm to a professional tone.

E.g. see the Tiktok accounts for the BBC, The Guardian, the Financial Times, etc
