People get challenged all the time, @Traps for Trump (Morepie).

2019-09-05 17:15:04 UTC  

thank you for making my point

2019-09-05 17:15:31 UTC  

it is JUST as easy to push a narrative if not MORE so with the internet as it is on tv

2019-09-05 17:15:53 UTC  

because i can provide volumes of data and video and audio to supoirt that made up narrative

on tv, there is only so much time

2019-09-05 17:16:09 UTC  

@ManAnimal - I'm sorry, but if I didn't have internet access I would've just assumed that the exploding car stories were true because I'd have NO WAY to fucking fact check it. Someone could fucking tell me the name of the court case, and unless I was in the mood to drive to a fucking California courthouse to personally look at the case file, I would have no fucking way to tell if they were right.

With the internet, you can pull the case file online.

2019-09-05 17:16:23 UTC  

Challenged by what though? Because you have a different opinion that was formed by reading or listening to fringe groups or individuals because you have a lack of trust to a news organization?

2019-09-05 17:16:27 UTC  

because you HAVE no judgement

2019-09-05 17:16:39 UTC  

Soonâ„¢

2019-09-05 17:16:42 UTC  

No judgement?

You mean the judgment to wanna look up a case file?

2019-09-05 17:16:48 UTC  

and you have no judgement because you never had to work in a vaccum

2019-09-05 17:17:06 UTC  

you always had an answer at your finger tips

2019-09-05 17:17:29 UTC  

There is no challenge. There is my side and your side and those sides were formed by opinion. Backed by facts that alone are true but added to a bigger picture don’t clear up anything

2019-09-05 17:17:31 UTC  

No, I didn't. There was a time when the internet wasn't available to me, and I went around like a fucking idiot blindly believing what people told me because I had no way to check for myself.

2019-09-05 17:17:47 UTC  

Now I do, and I'm significantly less retarded as a result.

2019-09-05 17:17:49 UTC  

no, judgment is what allows you to listen to a narrative and pick up on the fact the person isn't being truthful

2019-09-05 17:18:05 UTC  

without having concrete evidence either way

2019-09-05 17:18:27 UTC  

think of it this way: what type of test is harder?

2019-09-05 17:18:35 UTC  

...and what if the TV presenter doesn't know they're being fed a bunch of bullshit?

The TV presenter could be presenting a made up story, while having a completely honest expression on their face and absolutely zero indication that they're lying, because they also think the story is true.

2019-09-05 17:18:44 UTC  

1) an open book test; 2) a closed book test

2019-09-05 17:18:56 UTC  

lol

2019-09-05 17:19:05 UTC  

which is harder?

2019-09-05 17:19:17 UTC  

If you've had the same professors that I've had, then you'd know an open book test is often a bad idea.

2019-09-05 17:19:26 UTC  

They take that as a license to make things super fucking difficult.

2019-09-05 17:19:27 UTC  

you aren't answering

2019-09-05 17:19:38 UTC  

ah, so you understand then

2019-09-05 17:19:58 UTC  

an open book test means they can OVERLOAD you with everythin and anything

2019-09-05 17:20:09 UTC  

and you only have so much time to complete the test

2019-09-05 17:20:14 UTC  

When you have access to information your capabilities are legitimately expanded.

2019-09-05 17:20:21 UTC  

That's what makes the internet so awesome.

2019-09-05 17:20:25 UTC  

follow the metaphor

2019-09-05 17:20:33 UTC  

because you are contradicting yourself

2019-09-05 17:21:00 UTC  

the open book test is harder because you dont know what to focus your studing on

2019-09-05 17:21:07 UTC  

My professors asked me to do more, because they knew we could if the book was in front of us.

For those of us who already knew the material well enough for a closed book test, it threw a wrench into everything.

2019-09-05 17:21:21 UTC  

with a close book, the professor is limited to the degree they can misdirect you

2019-09-05 17:21:28 UTC  

lol wtf

2019-09-05 17:21:35 UTC  

This was in fucking math class.
