Reading this has made me tempted to look a little deeper into some of these sites.
My dad recently sent me a series of articles from a news aggregate, including one that basically what-about-ed a politician in response to the recent allegations surrounding Brett Kavanaugh. Oddly enough, all of these articles were from the same site with a pretty generic name (think something like "currenteventsamerica dot com"), all had a conservative tilt, and had little to no information on who ran the site.
I don't really know where to begin aside from looking into who owns the domain.
- doubt_me 8y agoYou can begin by always assuming no matter what. There's always more to the story. It's never black and white. Or grey for that matter. Unless I'm physically there at the time these things happen all we can do is build a good enough idea of how things played out by looking at all the information available. People in general tend to hyper focus on things sometimes not even relevant at all to the things they want to know and miss the point entirely. These sites and propaganda exploit our laziness towards due diligence. And it also doesn't help that the world isnt particularly honest with themselves or tech illiterate.
