Do Facebook facts count?
Do you have any evidence or data to support this conclusion, or are you participating in the behavior?
Do you seriously need evidence that most people don’t research what they hear on the news?
Yes. Because not everything that appears intuitive, is fact. This is how disinformation is spread. It is a vulnerability in the human psychology.
If you were right and people researched things they heard on the news, disinformation wouldn’t spread. And Biden wouldn’t have to say that violent crime is historically low.
I mean I have no idea why you think he would bother saying it if most people researched this stuff.
Perhaps to reiterate that he’s bringing value to the US for the upcoming election?
Perhaps to cover all the bases, for those that don’t look at fact/evidence (meaning not necessarily a majority of people not looking at fact)
I mean the possibilities are endless, i feel like you’re taking a pretty narrow view to this subject
You have not explained how disinformation spreads if people research what they hear on the news.
That wasn’t the topic of discussion. You implied that a majority of people don’t research their views without anything other than anecdotal evidence
You tried to pivot to this other topic, I did not follow it.
I can agree with “at least some people do not properly vet and research their views” but I cannot subscribe to “most”
Make sense?
I just looked back at our conversation. Can you please show, with context, where I implied such a thing?
Plenty, take a look at anyone that votes for tRump.
