The problem I see with a trust model like this is that too often, people treat trust as a binary option rather than a scale. Like, "do I trust my android phone?" is not a yes/no proposition. I trust that it likely reports the time accurately. I do not think it a secure operating system. It has a history of reliably connecting to the internet, though it occassionally gets stuck and I need to reboot it. If I am stuck with a binary view of trust, which so many people seem to do, I either naively ignore the device's failures or I refuse to admit it's successes.
- creaghpatr 8y agoPeople conflate fake news with biased analysis too. There's a difference between (in the NYT specifically) the first and second bullet point. If you look at any major headline story in the NYT- the first bullet is always the story, what factually happened, and the second one is the 'spin' which is where the alleged bias is found. Readers can still get value out of that first bullet even if they discount the second one- but it does get tedious at a certain level.
