What a great list of disinfo + debunkings. If I could tweak one thing, I think it would make sense to put the red X statement before the green checkmark, since the checkmark statement is the response
- angry_octet 6y agoIt's probably better to have the factual statement in people's immediate memory before they read the falsehood.
- reaperducer 6y agoAt first, I thought that, too. But I think I see the reason they did it the unusual/backwards way. It's to make sure the text with the green checkmark is seen by both careful readers, and those skimming the page. I can envision someone skimming through the headings and reading the first thing they see in each section, thinking that it's the correct information.
- lixtra 6y agoI’m suspicious of the green checkmarks and red crosses in this context. If the argument is convincing you don’t need it. If it’s bogus the nice design may take your attention away from it. A convincing design is more important to propaganda while a convincing reasoning is more important to fact checking. Of course a site may serve as both, propaganda for the ones unable to reason and carefully crafted argument for the interested.
