yes
Ah fuck me yes, you did, I saw that vid I think
conservatives engage way more than the left
so the proportion of fake news is higher too
but relatively is the same
You said the top most "engaged" sites
Were mostly opinion or activist blogs
For the left leaning sites
I'll tell you mine.
Its okay for actual myths.
but very biased for anything remotely political
Biased as shit, and yet for SOME REASON people think they're the sole fair minded people around.
"CHECK WITH SNOPES. THE GODS OF BALANCE"
Like you want to know where did the story of something come from?
Its decent for those simple trivia persuits.
but disregard anything, anything political
Yes.
I keep getting pointed to there
While I think Forbes is trash, there was a pretty good article questioning the legitamacy of Snopes.
"HILLARY DID NOTHING WRONG. SEE? SNOPES SAID SO. YOU GONNA ARGUE WITH SNOPES?"
It's like... When did I agree that Snopes was right?
I never used that fucking site.
Wait. You saying that Snopes claimed Hillary's email scandal was just a right wing concpiracy theory?
Cause it sounds right up their alley.
I'm paraphrasing because I forgot what these idiots I was arguing with actually said was bullshit bcuz Snopes.
snopes is trash
🙏
they take questions like
"Is the government turning frogs gay?"
FALSE
and yer liike
uhhh a good fact checking site would be like
They love meteor smashing the little softball versions of questions.
"Is there a chemical that can make frogs gay"
"Yes, atrazine, though Jones is being hyperbolic"
"Look at this big plump pinata. Watch how talented I am as I strike it with MY BAZOOKA BABY."
"Atrazine disrupts frog endocrine systems making them female"
I once looked up if Soros was legit a Nazi. Snopes said no and those are baseless claims. I thought,"Makes sense, since they are biased towards the left."
Theres a literal vid
