How do you know news is fake?

submitted by anon to askanon 1 monthMar 30, 2024 08:38:24 ago (+4/-7)     (askanon)

Because you don't like it.

Yeah, it's boiled down to this. People shout "fake news" at anything they don't want to hear

Nope. I know the news is fake because I understand operation mockingbird. I know who the owners of the companies are and the agenda they're pushing. It's not just news. It's all media, TV, video games, movies, influencers, YouTube celebs, music, and even "alternative" sources.

It's generally a good idea to not believe anything you can't independently verify. Not saying there isn't value in thinking about these things, but the value lies in predicting where the narrative is heading. It has no bearing on what actually happened. It's all bullshit and lies, but we still have to navigate this shit show.

Basic critical thinking helps.
Who is saying it?
What is their motive?
Who benefits from this message?

For simple reports, like the bridge collapse, is obviously true. The details are where the reporters will pile on their spin.

Exactly.
I don't like being manipulated into thinking a certain way about anything. I have my own opinions, but absolute truth is a luxury I can't afford. I'm ok with that.

How do you verify anything if it's all fake?

[ - ] PeckerwoodPerry 2 points 1 monthMar 30, 2024 10:17:35 ago (+2/-0)

I don't. I don't believe anything other than what's going on in my world. Everything outside what I personally experience is questionable at best. 99.999% of the time I can't do anything about it anyway, so who fucking cares? I got my own shit to worry about that doesn't involve some kikes or shit skins dying half a world away. I'm not even sure we're not living in a simulation. Doesn't matter, I'm here and I have better shit to worry about.

That's actually one of the stated goals of the CIA: "we'll know our mission is complete when everything the public knows is false".

The objective is to make people confused and afraid so they will submit to authority. And it's working. The covid hoax was an overwhelming success.

OP, your hypothesis is essentially that a claim of fake news is itself fake news. You have a recursion issue in your argument.

How do you know that it's not fake?

[ - ] AugustineOfHippo2 1 point 1 monthMar 30, 2024 10:08:31 ago (+1/-0)

I know the "news" is fake because I have eyes and ears and a brain and can verify most of the "news" is total BS. critical thinking is a skill that is lost on most boob-tube viewers.

If a jew or a nigger is involved then it is corrupt. That's how I gauge things.

Just like the kikes here.
You post solid content with fact,proof and ultimate truth and the kikes still down vote it or attempt to twist it.
Comical in their mind

The earth isn't flat retard.

Can you provide me a simple scientific proof for either the attraction of two masses, or the motion of the Earth?

Foucalt's pendulum's are all faked with magnets, and the Cavendish experiment was pure bullshit, so you can't use those.

Care to explain why everyone thinks "Coriolis Effect" is real, when it is demonstrably false? They also waited until Coriolis (an Italian mathematician) was dead before they attached his name to this idiocy.

You just maybe on to something.??

Except when its repeatedly shown to be false.

Thats how a lot of people do it, I will absolutely concede that.

But I don't think that applies to this band of merry men.

For me, it's believability and potential alignment to motives.

For example, exwife calls you, is bringing the kid to stay with you, and immediately tells you not to believe whatever the kid tells you, because she's been lying. No other details.

So, what's really going on? You don't need to be sherlock to understand the ex has done something wrong and the kid's about to snitch on her to you. True story.

I use my natural ability to figure shit out and I arrive at a decision. That decision's quality is directly related to the quality of said ability.

Wrong. Cry.

I use common sense, something most people lack
