(csmapnyu.org) Well, the study never referenced the term 'misinformation' a single time, so that should be a red flag to you. It says on the bottom of the graph you posted: Percentage of links from known unreliable sources shared on Facebook by congressional candidates. And the sources are determined to be reliable or not by News Guard, of whom I've never heard. Even if I grant all that to be true, there is no mention of who the unreliable sources are and whether the link(s) posted were actually bullshit. Technically, Wapo is spreading misinformation in the headline of this very article and, well, so are you now. I really don't want to check because it's already been a waste of time, but I would bet Wapo is considered a reliable source by News Guard, even as they mention their own research to spread misinformation. Maybe since this type of shit interests you, you could check that out and let us know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(csmapnyu.org) You try too hard. This is misinformation about misinformation and the first link in the second paragraph proves it. It also has no relation to the topic of "Republicans sharing misinformation". It points to a 2013 video of Rand Paul speaking to medical students essentially joking about how misinformation can be good thing as it relates to competition. I correlate that to misinformation purposely leaked to wartime enemies to gain an advantage. The full video of Rands talk. No, Sen.

The more often they do it, less credible they are. If they apologize for mistakes in the information they passed to you, then they can gain some creditability back. (Well for non-cultists anyways). Good fact checkers list past false stories, so you can look it up yourself. What is the alternated to fact checkers? Sorry but I'm not a cultist so "whatever dear leader says" doesn't work for me.
