- EGreg 10y agoWe seem to be witnessing the death of accuracy in reporting. And maybe a post-truth era on the internet. "I am sure 3 million illegal aliens voted while global warming is a hoax! Obama paid off all the scientists." - I literally have friends on facebook who say stuff like that every time I repost articles from HN about rising temperatures or CO2 concentrations.
- Neliquat 10y agoThe problem with Infowars or any other fringe source, is that they are right often enough. Sure obama didnt turn the frogs gay, but there were plenty of other factual stories covered in a factual way, before being spun into insanity. But you could argue many msm outlets also have very variable scruples, depending on the subject. Ie. Infowars is generally poor quality, but not always false. I only read it for a giggle on occasion fwiw.
