Exposure to misinformation even in the context that you want to know what's being said actually has the effect of you recalling the misinformation as fact later on

Can't disagree, but the more sources you have, the better capable you are of disassembling the bullshit and finding the kernel of truth.

Like I learned from Mortal Kombat. There is no knowledge that is not power. Even if it's fake news, at least you know what is being spread to other, more stupid people.

I might have pegged you wrong. You are close to getting demoted from being one of my Things. This is like four non-negative interactions in a row, all on the same day.

Real talk, that makes me happy. Rather have you as a friend than an enemy. Or at least a non-hostile entity than an enemy.

When I look at specific news networks, I prefer news that haven't lost a defamation lawsuit or any "news" that parrots them.
Well if that's your response to an objectively credible source, we're not getting a reasonable or intelligent discussion with you either.

Not to mention the word salad that followed.
Neither one of them even tried to explain why "the right-wing does the most violence" is wrong. There are other sources that says this and it isn't just an US thing.

Yea....

Yea.... Because snopes is a reliable:wtf: source for fact checking......
People still trust Snopes and "fact checkers"? Holy yikes!

Fact checkers are just another form of propaganda and censorship with them trying to fool you about their credibility just for debunking a few actual rumors anyone else could easily debunk. "Fact checkers" are so laughable that they will even try "fact checking" obvious satire memes because they probably see satire as a huge threat for "democracy" or whatever.
