RE: What's in the Box? Se7en deadly sins of Steemit

in #news8 years ago

In my opinion, it is wise to never again use the words "news" and "fake " in the same sentence.....unless you want to fall into a propaganda hole, or "pitt"

These days there is so much propaganda and psyops that its safe to say nobody really knows what is "true".

All we can do is look at hard evidence and base logical assumptions around it.

Sort:  

very true... unfortunately "Fake News" is now an "official" thing :/

My point exactly.

Thats why I think its unbenificial to use....now you get tangled up in that mess.....personally...im vowing to not even use the word "news"

....And also looking at other words and concepts I should remove from my dictionary.

News is news whether it's real or fake... it's how we report it which makes the difference. It's our responsibility to maintain our reputation and hold it down. Shying away from presenting information isn't going to help anything. Stand up for what's you believe in

Thats no where near the point I was presenting...that has nothing to do with it.

I'm aware there is plenty of propaganda and misinformation out there and because of that we need to push truth to the forefront and bring awareness. Is there an alternative word or practice you are suggesting?

Please explain what you mean by not using the word "news," why it's not beneficial... and why you reject it from your vocabulary. Is what you're talking about, steemit related or in general?
