After Truth: Desinformation und der Preis von Fake News

If nothing else, this really opened my eyes about the fact that we really need to be discerning about what we hear and see in the news and media and not just take everything for face value. I teared up a couple of times due to how devastating starting and spreading untruths can be and the fact that there are individuals out there who are only selfishly concerned about themselves with no regards to how this may affect others. So sad and sometimes downright evil. Eye opening.

A very deep inside, how people work (for Trump/Republicans) to interrupt or stop investigations for break the laws. You people should be educated how social media works and what that means for them. If the US is a democracy, then this will be shown in every school.

It's very disappointing and disturbing that people make up stories they know to be false and publish them without any thought to the consequences.

The American education system is a totally failure. Half of the American population is so easily to be manipulated by certain people with illogical way of thinking. They are so naive to be manipulated and so easy to be mouth fed by fake news created by certain ideological extremists. Some of the fake news creators are completely depending on what they sow daily over their radio programs or particularly by a specific TV News. The so-called Fake News, if I remember correctly was appeared and spread like wild fire across America since 2016. The "Fake News" creators actually created Fake News on a daily basis. It was used by a guy on the Twitter to discredit any news that were not to his favor, anything not good to him would be tagged as "Fake News" by him. The No.1 Fake News creator has since divided America into two parts. He uses Fake News to polarize the naive Americans, creating a cult like belief that if anything and everything he doesn't like or not in his favor IS FAKE NEWS. Before this guy appeared, I never thought America got so many rednecks with guns. They are waving American flags to show that they are the true patriots, they love and care about America more than those who don't wave the flags or hold guns. These hotheads don't believe anything that was not from or certified by the fake news creator. They don't believe science, they don't trust anything from the other side of the aisle if they don't carry the same political color like them. The result: America has the largest number of death from COVID-19. They even believe if they wear MASK would only mean the loss of their FREEDOM. Fake News is the weapon of certain politicians to fool the poorly educated Americans, it's also how certain people make their living by creating and spreading them.

Seeing the fake news machine do their work blatantly on camera doesn't surprise me at this point.... what scares me is that a lot of Americans will watch this and chalk it up to "poor editing". Don't get me wrong I'm not fond of politicians in general. But this last 4-5 years has been a turning point in our history. We have shown the government that they can get away with anything. And we can thank Russia for that. Let's keep up with these nonsensical conspiracy theories while they keep screwing all of us in ways the average American can't comprehend.
