If you read the whole article and not just the headline you'd realize it's a pretty good article. From it: "It’s often counterproductive to engage directly with content from an unknown source, and people can be led astray by false information." Which is 100% true.
Go to some unknown blog that has a breadcrumb or two of truth and the rest lies, and you end up wasting a shitton of time weeding out disinfo from truth. Also from the article:
"The goal of disinformation is to capture attention, and critical thinking is deep attention."
But sure, just read the headline and dismiss everything out of hand like you all always do. Fuck having a nuanced take on a complex situation, everything is black and white.
unknown sources
I agree. The plebs should only be regurgitating state approved facts from """credible""" sources. How dare they question our superior intellect and righteous wisdom!?
"It’s often counterproductive to engage directly with content from an unknown source, and people can be led astray by false information." Which is 100% true.
If we only take facts from known sources, that list of """facts""" I posted would be the only truth when they were breaking news.
Well, we know there were no WMDs, the media was reporting what intelligence told them. That's true.
Epstein, no one knows. While it's highly unlikely he killed himself, it's 100% possible. There's no real info to go on here with nothing to actually look at.
Syria may have, who knows. Were you there? They also may not have.
Trump has a lot of ties to Russia, I'll leave it at that.
I'm not familiar with the last point so I won't discuss it.
The thing is, while unknown sources are a hoot, they are unknown and need corroboration. I see it as a don't waste too much time sorting through 100 blogs to find one piece of biased info.

Bunch of dummies.
Iraq had WMDs
Epstein killed himself
Syria totally gassed its own citizens
Trump was Russian KGB
Spain sank the Maine
That's not what I said at all but if that's your thing...
