Its as if they dont realize that fake news is not only the product of crazy people online. How many hoaxes from recognized institutions like the NYT do you need before you stop trusting just anything?
- nh23423fefe 4y agoWhy would I trust nothing? the NYT isn't a monolithic actor with a singular mind. what you propose is meaningless.
- kodah 4y agoThe NYT does run, centrally, what they call "narratives" which I think is what people are referencing here. This has apparently been in practice for quite some time but only has been a point of discussion as people leave.
- HKH2 4y ago> the NYT isn't a monolithic actor with a singular mind. Isn't there an editor?

- insightcheck 4y agoAlternatively, one can think critically on a case-by-case basis, instead of either trusting nothing at all or giving uncritical trust based on a source.
- ekianjo 4y ago> one can think critically on a case-by-case basis That's easy to say. If all of your sources are poisoned with narratives and misrepresentation (in one way or another), you basically don't have any anchor to make proper judgment.
