With information at our fingertips, it’s never been easier to look up something in the browser and be surrounded by several websites just waiting to fill you with knowledge and facts.
Or is it?
To me, it seems like it’s actually getting harder and harder to find legitimate information thanks to all these so-called “fact-checkers” who are just primed and ready to pounce on any news article (or opinion) that they don’t like and label it as “fake news” and/or “misinformation”.
I’m sure you’ve come across tweets, perhaps, or facebook links/posts, etc. with a notification warning you that the message it contains is “disputed”. Perhaps you’re still of the mentality that the only reason why companies do this is to protect us from misinformation and only want us looking at facts.
And this is exactly what they want you to think.
We need to be aware, even if we want to deny it, that news media, especially as of late, if not always has been, a propaganda tool implemented to steer the public into what to think.
I am going to give you one name, and one name only, that I want you to look up and see what other names you can find in association with it.
