Junk News like junk food will kill you...................eventually................

Dr. Oz: EEG Brain Scans Reveal Fake News Threatens Your Health

Observer ^ | 2/23/17 | Dr. Mehmet Oz

Posted on 2/23/2017, 9:55:44 AM by Mozilla

Our show will spotlight a first-of-its-kind social experiment to identify the dangerous and disruptive effect of fake news on our brains. We had high profile fake news creator Jestin Coler craft two fictional stories: one designed to prey on liberals and another on conservatives.
Women read the articles, not knowing they were fake, as neuropsychiatrist Dr. Daniel Amen gathered quantitative EEG assessments.

The findings supported results of a functional MRI study recently published in Nature Scientific Reports, which showed how challenging a person’s political beliefs could activate the parts of the brain associated with emotion and self-identity.

A self-described liberal woman in our social experiment reported feeling sad after reading a fictional article on illegal immigrants, but revealed stronger irritation and anger when processing a fake story about a jailed climate change researcher. Simultaneous changes in her brain activity were also much greater when processing the climate change story and correlated with a strong emotional response of angst and fear.

A conservative woman demonstrated opposite reactions. For her, the article on illegal immigration elicited changes in brain activity changes that you would see during a physical threat.

The women were not told that the articles were fake until they were seated on stage. What happened next was startling. First, the women understandably, but awkwardly, tried to defend why they believed the false stories, rather than expressing frustration that they had been duped. This natural human tendency was highlighted by one woman’s comment that while the news was fake, it reinforced a truth she felt about our country—so the piece was tolerable.

If this is true, Trump may have appointed a closet Muslim.

Well, I am all for honing that cumbersome phrase down to a five-letter, two syllable word:

Islam.

“sources say” = “rumors” = “fake news”

“”””according to multiple sources””””


When the media starts naming their multiple sources, I may start believing what the media is saying.

Until then these stories are just works of fiction.

I don’t call it radical Islamic terrorism, it’s just plain regular normal traditional Islamic terrorism.

The Guardian so so suspect that in order to even give this a second thought, we need some real sources. I know that McMasters said a few years ago that ISIS was “twisted perversion” of Islam but I’d cut him slack since it was during the reign of 0bola and people in the mil were fired for saying the unvarnished truth.

Donald Trump’s new national security adviser has told staff at the White House he does not wish to use the term “radical Islamic terrorism” to describe the terrorist threat the US faces, according to multiple sources.

Oooops.

Someone was not vetted quite as throrough as we were led to believe.
Or the insider "leaks" seem to be still with us...

"Radical Islamic terrorism" is too much of a mouthful.

Just call it Mohammedanism.

Maybe he wants to rename them “Soon To Be Formerly Living Radical Islamic Terrorists.” That seems reasonable to me.
