I think it's dangerous to assume that one side are the good guys who never lie while the other are the bad guys who always do.
Disinformation comes from all sides and one has to be critical of everything.
- Ericson2314 7y agoYeah by making your own counter-message, you're being humble with respect to that possibility. Let there be two propagandas dropped at the same time and hopefully the truth will tip the scales.
- NotPaidToPost 7y agoIf the truth was self-evident fake news would not exist... Often there isn't even one truth. And of course when you have two competing versions there is no guarantee that one is true, or that one is not true for that matter. I'm just saying to people should use caution and not take anything at face value.
- Ericson2314 7y ago> If the truth was self-evident fake news would not exist... Note I saw saying "if there are two narratives". The "fake news" situation is often just one narrative. (US cable news has no narrative. Or brain.) The government shouldn't assume it's correct. But if there is a wide variety of narratives it should be less difficult for the populace.
