MLD Woody Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 It is a shame that the only way to report on any news story in this country is through Twitter. Just twitter. We should really come up with other options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Times reporter Maggie Haberman was lambasted by Twitter followers for being one of the few NYT journalists willing to acknowledge the Post article. It’s a story that merits the attention of other journalists, political operatives, national security experts, and also the public at large—not least of all because there are serious questions about its accuracy, reliability, and sourcing. And yet many in the media are choosing not just to ignore the story, but to actively encourage others to suppress any discussion of it.

You can not believe it all you want, but that doesn't make you right. Studies have been done. I've posted them. Boomers are more easily tricked by fake news. They haven't grown up with the internet. That's why, once they got on Facebook, it was game over. That's why groups like QAnon became a real thing. This board provides plenty of evidence for it. I'd also be interested in seeing data on their Facebook usage now, instead of in 2015 when your study was done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the young ones. I was surprised that the pizza chick, a sophomore, didn't have a Facebook account just Instagram. I think Instagram is fairly useless. I have an account but not really sure what it's good for. WSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until they start fact checking certain high ranking public officials, and then they want to be a journalist based platform (big difference). They need to stick to one side of the road or the other, they can’t have it both ways. I’ll give you one example, Trump wants to block certain people from his Twitter feed but the Twitter Overlords said he couldn’t because he’s an elected official. I asked Congressman Tim Ryan on Twitter about his dealings with the Awan brothers, and that prick blocked me. What the fuck is the difference? Isn’t a Congressman an elected official? The difference is Twitter will go to great lengths to protect their Democratic peeps. I hope that clears things up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we really honestly are powerless to do anything about it no matter who you love or who you hate. Maybe it's true, at the end of the day who really gives a shit?
