A lot of CNN/MSNBC/WaPo/NYslimes news articles don’t contain any facts.
Its not facts when its liberal editorializing dressed up as objective news.
That’s by definition, fake news.
No wonder Americans can’t distinguish facts from fiction.
Near as I can see this all traces back to the way “critical thinking” is taught. No statement that is not scientifically proven can be used. There is no distinction whatsoever between opinion and fact in the way that logic is used and imposed upon children for their entire educations. The biggest result I have seen is trying to get millenials to express any opinion at all. . .it’s as though they are aftraid to even have, much less express and opinion.
Grapple?
Only snowflakes and functional morons need to grapple.
recognizing crap has, for me, become ridiculously simple.
Step 1 check the source.
If its from a known source, A pervert/soros/ the MSM or an academic, it is automatically rejected.
If it is from an unknown source, check the source on line NOT USING SNOPES, WIKIPEDIA, Snowflakes, pervert or Twinkie sites OR ANY GOVERNMENT SOURCE.
Rinse and repeat.
Oh my, this is rich.
How would “news stories” be defined? Maybe you can have video proof that a storm hit the town or a plane did crash. But on any political topic, the stories are 99% propaganda. They aren’t “news.” Of course people can’t pick out the truth. They don’t have video of the event; they are relying on a well oiled propaganda machine to disseminate falsehoods, and the people are told this is true.
So you can only measure how well a piece of propaganda does at influencing thought in a reader. There is no relation to truth, in any political story.
I think one of the main reasons opinions are confused with facts is because of the opinion pieces titled: “Fact Check...”
With the constant barrage of propaganda from the Ministry of Propaganda it is no wonder people don’t know what to believe.
Facts? Thee are none, it’s all opinion and Left Wing activism.
I’m smart enough to know the survey implies the average American is too stupid to read a newspaper, or listen to ABC News on TV.
This is a preamble for, “You’re too stupid to govern yourselves, so we’re going to run your lives for you, but we’re going to take what we’ve been doing so far to a new level.”
Because the dems and the media never tell the truth.
As opposed to what? (I know some of you will draw a distinction democratic republic, but I would probably have answered this question as a fact. )
"Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time." - Winston Churchill
What are the Vegas odds that Schmuckerburg bought and paid for this survey to have the results that defend Facebook’s decree of being the Harbinger of Truth?
The MSM doesn’t care that we know they are propaganda as long as the ones they are propagandizing don’t know.
What they are afraid to say: sex, it depends on your sex
Not me. Most of what is “reported” is either incomplete, biased, or erronious. The rest of it are simply lies. I dont believe any of it. The media in general are Americas public enemy #1.
Liberal school teachers high fiving each other for a job well done.
If they stuck to the 5 Ws and the H, people wouldn’t need to grapple with anything.
Remove opinions from news, and we’re fine.
