There is no such thing as real news.

[-] oxjox@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 year ago

You've posted someone's model for propaganda and have made your own non-sensical claim that real news does not exist.

Are you okay?

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world -4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yep 👍 it’s not non-sense.

Not believing anything is just as damaging as believing everything.

Media Skepticism and Literacy.

By delivering highly personalized news content, social media can have an isolating effect, causing people to “increasingly live online — and perhaps in real life — in closed systems of political consensus and like-minded thinking,”

Okay? Weird tangent to randomly throw in.

This is the guy who went on record claiming that it is somehow NATO's fault for Putin's Russia invading Ukraine. Do not trust him with anything related to politics, he is out of his mind.

I don’t want people to trust me. I want them to use critical thinking and skepticism as they view articles and content on the internet.

To make you realize that all news has bias. If you control the information, you control society. Also, capitalism is the problem.

[-] assassin_aragorn@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Sure, but has this model been used to analyze itself?

Think about it -- the most powerful propaganda of all is dictating what is and what isn't propaganda.

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago

You have achieved enlightenment. Go forth, and spread the fake news.

"The real propaganda was the friends we made along the way!"

of course, a chomskiete comes with the "there is no real news, manufactured consent" shows up.

and an avatar meme doesn't make it any more true,

Forgive me if I trust Noam Chomsky over a random person fittingly named orrk.

[-] orrk@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

sure, trust a genocide denier over a guy you know nothing about.

Better the devil you know, I guess

[-] money_loo@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago

I never thought I’d have a chance to say this again, but OK, Boomer.

Generational antagonism is used to create division to distract from class consciousness.
