RE: Does your disagreement with something make that thing "fake"?

in #philosophy7 years ago

Disagreement with news doesn't make it fake. It's impossible to be neutral in this World. Being neutral as a human means you are no more alive. only dead person can be neutral. lets come to the topic news is fake when it has no authenticity and no proof, like mostly rumors are fake.

Sort:  

There are some things that can be used to ween out a lot of the "fake" stuff. It may miss the occasional not fake, but that'd likely be rare.

Does it start with...

"Some people say..."

"Anonymous sources say..."

"Celebrity X says..."

Yes you picked excellent examples
Some people say, celebrity say etc, but people of this era are wise enough to know that these are useless news until and unless veriified by the concerned person

Only those of us that have taken time to shut off the TV, think for ourselves, etc.

There are still large portions of our population that drink that koolaid every day like a ritual.

Yes you are right, Majority of people rely on news without thinking it's right or fake. Seeing is believing, and media is expert in manipulating things for their advantage.
