Mainstream media wants to make a dollar. Your worth is a click. Cutting revenue won’t stop people from making shit up online. Even shutting down Facebook wouldn’t stop it from happening. We need to learn to reach outside of our cognitive dissonance bubbles we’ve created and stop mindlessly consuming content that conforms with our own biases.
Google has fixed its content algorithms and that’s awesome, but fake news still exists and has since journalism became a staple of humanity. Own the fact we share things that we are biased towards — once we admit it, we can take steps to fix it and begin to talk again.
Cool.
Next week we talk about sex! (Seriously)
I disagree with this list because robek.world only publishes 100% verified, objective truth articles.
Comment fields are where most journalism takes place.[citation needed]
Do you really consider CNN and Liberty Writers News to have the same level of integrity?
As a reputable and very important online media publication, we don’t consider other publications to have any level of integrity :^)
