Haven't we always lived in that world? Nobody really treats all sources exactly equally, and many people dismiss certain categories of sources as not worth look

Haven't we always lived in that world? Nobody really treats all sources exactly equally, and many people dismiss certain categories of sources as not worth looking into. Depending on the person, this might be outlets they think of as mainly peddling conspiracy theories (Infowars, etc.), it could be outlets they see as too right-wing to be worth looking into (e.g. Breitbart), outlets they see as too left-wing to be worth looking into (e.g. World Socialist Web), etc.
- zer00eyz 10y ago> Nobody really treats all sources exactly equally The fact that were using the term "post fact voter" is pretty scary. At one point media was more of a conscious buy, but now thats mostly auto-magic. You buy into a network and might not have any idea where your ad is showing up. I think this is another confession that the system isn't perfect and were going to see some corrections.
- tomjen3 10y agoOnly one side is using that term though. Its a brilliant piece of propaganda but that is it.
- roywiggins 10y agoThe scary people are the ones who DO treat sources exactly equally- if someone said it on the internet, well, maybe it's true...
