Many, like yourself and me one time thought they were legit unbiased sources but that is no longer true with big tech buying them up. My wife and I watched some movie about fake news. At first it seemed interesting and unbiased but as it went on, I said to myself, this is all Liberal/Democratic leaning. My wife wasn't convinced so after the movie was over, she dug into it and seen that it was produced by CNN.

Politifact is suppose to be another one that is neutral and unbiased, and maybe it still is, but, like I said above, with big tech buying all these sites up all the time, it is hard to know anymore? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcticCrusher Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 3 minutes ago, XCR1250 said: This place ok? https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/ How about reading the articles and going through the sources yourself to see what you believe is true and what isn't? When an article just states this claim is false and states unnamed experts, you should already know they can't back up shit. Looks at the data sources to determine how strong the evidence is and what they are risking for coming out in the first place. You are giving way to much credibility to those who have shown you zero facts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be just like MC if I believe everything that claims to be true according to my political leanings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think the response was to the first human who figured out the earth was round? Do you think every so called scientist backed him? No, they mocked and ridiculed him and they were all wrong. The notion that the majority of scientists or scholars have ever figured out a major event truth in unison is laughable when it goes against their livelihood.

Anyone going against popular theory is ostracized and now, since so much of their funding is government based. They are forced to tow the line appropriately and take orders. Medical and educational institutions are the same. This is why big government is horrific. The Catholic Church was the last who has this kind of sweeping control. Wouldn’t the Liberals just love their own little dark ages. As far as the first part goes, Pythagoris, Aristotle, Copernicus, Galileo, etc…we’re all laughed at, threatened, ridiculed blackballed for their theories.

XCR1250 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Again, that's why there are fact-checking sites, some are obviously biased and some aren't. Most folks don't have time to research all events or other things which happen on a daily basis. I found this site to be the most un-biased, at least so far. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/ And they check all other fact checking sites.

There is really nothing to factcheck here as its not debatable. So in your opinion, why would the definition of herd immunity be altered and look at the dates? We have been played as idiots, and most of the population just goes along with the narrative. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, I'm not disagreeing with you, I don't wear masks or get experimental vaccines, or any shots, just that many things we all post are personal opinions and not verifiable facts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
