princeoflasagna:thedavesofourlives:Did people in the notes even bother to read the article without making judgments just based on a headline? The article specifically talks about how the way we’re taught to critically think about writing (engage deeply with content) doesn’t work in an internet age of disinformation.https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/18/opinion/fake-news-media-attention.htmlYeah you’re the kind of NPC this article makes sense to.If actively learning about something you consider abhorrent convinces you that it’s true then you’re either an easily swayed fool (this propagandist definitely knows his audience) or perhaps the idea is actually true.The article it literally advocating blind faith in the mass medias narrative.It’s the biggest liars and spreaders of disinformation that are telling you not to think for yourself.You couldn’t parody Oceanias Ministry of Truth better if you tried. -- source link
