The misinformation war is real

[Birdbuff]

Look I’m no expert. But reading this article makes more sense than some of the opposing theories I’ve read on here. We’re going to need to come up with a system that all people can trust to some certain degree or surely we will divide. The distrust is real. The misinformation is real. I’m not calling out anyone or looking to blame people. It’s easy to get caught up in things when they make sense to you. What I do think we need is more transparency and less rhetoric. We also need to do something about social media platforms. I’m not saying get rid of free speech, but some stuff needs a disclaimer. This world is full of information. The internet serves as a great database for information. Unfortunately it’s also used for misinformation for various purposes. None of these purposes serve to enhance our society.

As with most things, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. According to the pro-vaxxers, getting the jab (or two, or three) is the only way to survive this pandemic and is for the greater good of society. To the staunchly opposed, vaccines lead to a multitude of ailments, and/or infringes on an individual's rights. The MSM supports the former and alternate sources support the latter. All anyone can do is to try and get a balance of both and make their own decision, and not let the media make it for them.

I think it’s not only a covid issue. I think this will spread its way through everyday life and it will create further divide amongst us through various future issues.

Unfortunately, it's in unavoidable.
Both sides of each argument will always have an extreme spectrum and will say outrageous things that twist or make up facts to their own advantage.

It falls to the listener to verify / choose whether to trust the info or not and choose their sources.
And yet another challenge is that audience does not have time to diligently verify everything they hear..
Its a known paradox of our era.

The only potential solution is oneself basic education in variety of disciplines, so that at least the obvious bs can be caught right away.

Gov establishment and MSM has historically has shot itself in foot and lost/keeps loosing trust from more and more folks by lack of transparency, being caught by twisting/hiding verifiable facts/stats or straight up lies..

The why Rogan podcast is so popular as he invites guests and allows long, in-depth discussions about variety of topics to allow audience to get both sides of story.

Society is to the point with main stream media that everything they report on is regarded with great skepticism. There seems to be a cratering of media credibility. If that drives people to delve further into important matter that have personal consequences using several different sources of data to enable them to arrive at a reasonable conclusion,that's a very good thing.

media want to sell stories so of course they are gonna sensationalize stuff, 24 hours of footage i think they will show the money pics

Alot of the information is correct from the so called conspiracy side either the far left or the far right. But they want you to believe the far is right is crazy like the protesters are considered far right by our media. Again with the labeling from the left.

The left isn't any better just better funded.

What must be taking into consideration are the facts not their opinions . Like Alex Jones he is very opinionated throws out alot of stuff some of it sounds really crazy but the facts are correct just not played much by the mainstream. He would be no different then Rogan has special guest that the mainstream won't have on.

I tried to debunk him but from what I found 95 percent is legit with his news just with a different opinion. But there is no evidence of alot of his rambling rants lol.

We don't have to believe in his wild crazy rants I'm not a far right guy but I want the truth . I'm coming to realization that I'm more of a freedom guy I fight gun rights yet I don't own a gun lol. I fight for useless bans that are not justified lol.

Look at rumble government officials started using it because someone says it's mis information or misleading information on YouTube. These people are testifying in the government house are being censored on certain platforms. Senate officials are being censored let me guess it must be a medical licensed expert doing the censoring not lol.



Like said you can't believe everything you hear but most can put 2 and 2 together with the evidence that is brought forward.

Here is one prove to me the liberals are not on board with WEF? And what does that really mean? The evidence is there the proof is in the pudden and the vax pass was praised for being created by one of their own masterminds.

When you can't ask questions really what's left ? Just listen just obey and be obedient?

I just thought of a great Halloween costume for a gal: Miss Information

Dressed like a Miss America beauty pageant contestant with a banner that says Miss Information and some signs or things written on the dress that were once deemed ‘misinformation’ (and could have got you censored or fired for saying them) — like the Covid survival rate, cloth masks don’t work, the experimental injection is not safe & effective, lockdowns did nothing, etc.

Top it off with a camo MAGA hat and watch the triggered snowflakes melt

CBC even pointed out that Trudeau would come out, make claims and comments, CBC would spread it and late in the day some "nameless bureaucrat" would announce corrections, CBC actually call Justlied Trudeau a source of misinformation one of the few times I watched CBC, I was shocked. Either it happened more than once or I had real good timing but many of the "facts" on vaccines, masks etc. keep changing. A person need so question when the gov't says not to and the PM is notorious for lying.

The CDC just came out with new info on cloth masks effectiveness, studies on the Omicron variant, new variants, so much often from reputable sources (or seeming so), .... it wasn't that long ago that the vaccine would "stop" the virus... yet PM silly socks just tested positive. Decisions made on politics and lies are why we are where we are right now!

A couple of the Rogan shows that were called problems were with medical experts like one of the guys that helped create the mRNA vaccines... but he didn't speak "correctly" according to censors and political types... no idea if he did but time will tell and there will be casualties that shouldn't have been because some unquestioningly believed.
