Cannot perform investigative journalism, so they rely on the mainstream news outlets to gather info in the first place. If social media sites act as retailers, then mainstream outlets are the factories.
There are actual primary sources that propagate through telegram because anywhere else they are likely to be censored or banned, particularly in regards to Palestine, and also in the Ukraine. I recommend looking into the ecosystem of how this sort of news gets around, as it's how a lot of the firsthand accounts and atrocities from people are made visible, without the corporate middleman that usually spins it.
