Neither of you two provided a source, so I would tend to not believe either statement.
I think society will learn to handle fake news in precisely this way.
Worrying, however, is when the academic research that is given as a source, is guided by ideology rather than by empiric research.
And there seem to be more and more such cases.
- AlexCoventry 7y agoWhat source would you trust, though? People will just go after that source, to get their misinformation validated there.
- toss1 7y agoTrue, but merely by noticing your vocabulary choices, and evident familiarity with scientific research & standards, (& just that you are here) it is obvious that you are a massive outlier. Most people do not even begin to think so clearly. Which is why it it such a massive problem
- etrabroline 7y agoI think his point is that false newspaper reports are not new, educated people generally wait for credible sources, and it is not a massive problem compared to the increasing trend of what should be credible sources self censoring for political reasons.
