@Timcast Tim

Regarding your latest video (and the previous one on the same topic)
https://youtu.be/CIT93W4_6kY

Good point on the fact that the sources were mainly right wing, ergo more right wing consumption/sharing... BUT you're also missing the CONTEXT of the people sharing the posts. If people are sharing fake news for the purpose of calling it out, thats completely different to someone sharing it because they believe the news.

In short, the data in the report isnt nuanced enough to give us a clear picture of what's going on at all..

But we can slap headlines on it

and share on fb

and get the slick clicks

Also I doubt it cites the bigger mainstream news sources that clearly put out "junk news" also. So that snuffs out a lot of the left wing fodder. Also there's probably a lot more fragmented right wing sights to push around than the left wing ones.

I like how this supposed study on fake news just makes more fuel for fake news

I don't believe any article anymore except for X said Y or A happened at B type stuff. Without "allegedly" qualifiers of course

You can't even trust that a or b event happened these days

With things like the hoax hate crimes

@Timcast new game, fake-news or animal rights violation

That's a GREAT name

Hyper partisan conservative news is NOT fake news

Apparently the NBC commentator for the opening ceremony claimed that the reasons that all but 5 of the 110 medals we Dutchies have earned so far are in speed skating is because, paraphrased: We're all at sea level, have a lot of canals, so when those canals freeze, we skate to work

As a dutchman, i'm offended, i now demand reparations for every generation my bloodline produces

I agree

@AC says sub to PewDiePie It kinda is. If it's hyper-partisan, its bias. It's not a neutral outlook. Misrepresentation (or presenting only one side) is fake news. "News" should give a full, well rounded, unbias reporting of a topic or issue,

Thing is, we cant expect something to be 100% unbiased.

Best to settle with is it being stated from the begining.

I don't agree. Also, as Tim pointed out, the msm is hyperpartisan leftist. Fox is probably the most unbiased.

there is no such thing as unbiased news

THIS

Not condoning it. Simply that "true objectivity" is impossible in the current climate. And that the best we can settle for is having the biases up front and center.

Or simply, having some critical thinking.

Who needs critical thinking if you can have critical theory...

This is a good lecture on critical theory.
