- coffeeblack 5y agoBecause of the bias of the “fact” checkers, I guess? But seriously, the term “fact checking” is just a modern euphemism for propaganda. The other day Facebook “fact checked” a peer reviewed paper in the British Medical Journal. There are so many ridiculous examples. This blind trust people have is worrying.

- jessaustin 5y agoI, for one, have never taken a covid test.
- 9wzYQbTYsAIc 5y agoWell, proof by counter example it is.

- 9wzYQbTYsAIc 5y agoMy pal Trump? No thank you. Both Mr Trump and Mr Biden are deluges of misinformation and horse crap, as you put it.

- 9wzYQbTYsAIc 5y ago> Since it seems you have an anti-Biden agenda >> It was a serious question in good faith These two statements appear to be in contradiction. I have an anti-misinformation agenda. Nothing more, nothing less, at this time, thank you very much.

- 9wzYQbTYsAIc 5y ago> You see how that makes it looks like you have animus No, not really. Do you see how your not answering my question, but rather attacking it, shows that you have animus towards me?

- 9wzYQbTYsAIc 5y ago> Can you point to what specifically is misinformation in the article about Biden's order? Let me guess, you like cryptocurrency and it said things you don't like. You also said that Biden has a monopoly on what we see in the press. Um, that's pretty far from true, and anyway, he is the president so I would expect his messages to be shared widely. ‘nuff said. You are clearly lashing out, so it would be better to discontinue this conversation with you at this time.
- happytoexplain 5y agoUnfortunately, a big chunk of propaganda (to use the word very broadly - not just wartime propaganda) relies on information that is either true, subjective, or non-verifiable, and the dishonesty comes in the form of the context in which it is presented, cherry-picking, lies of omission, implications, assumptions, and optimizing for emotion rather than plain information delivery.
- kube-system 5y agoYes, the most powerful propaganda uses truth and logical fallacy to influence. Any time Putin is challenged about killing his political opponents, he responds with whataboutisms about protests and police killings in the US. All true, but entirely irrelevant.
- pessimizer 5y agoWhy focus on political ads? Is facebook fact-checking ads for products and services?
