Hi Scott, your post is right to the point, thanks. I feel that they are all telling the truth, laced with lies; whichever fits their purpose. When I started sending political news to my family, they said that, that kind of news produces hate. They were right. No matter how good, or true it may seem, it has, for the most part, one purpose; and that is to hate the other guy; or frighten us, which means, attacking our learning and beleifs.
Tony says, “Fake news is that news which goes against one’s learnings and beliefs”.
I feel that fake news places us in a position of how are we to handle this fake news ---- without becoming like them.
Tony, would you expand on your statement, I think that it is needed in times like these?
