Tom and RP give a crash course on digital literacy (how to spot BS in the news) subscribe: to the news letter: https://tnp.us/rpdaily/ Why?…There are 3 certainties in life Death, taxes and fake news Fake news will find you Fake news farms Exploring 1 example Fake news that Pope was endorsing trump Even after this was exposed as a fake in July, it went viral again right before the election… Seen by 8.7 million people right before election Seen more than top election news stories from credible sources Source: The top 20 fake news stories outperformed real news at the end of the 2016 campaign (Vox) Fact Checking 101: Example Article 1.Uses old photographs from September 2020 (Article dated May 26, 2021) Example of One - quotes few sources 'Mass exodus' out of Melbourne as fed-up residents flee their state and head to Sydney ahead of new lockdown that will last for seven days (Daily Mail) Digital literacy rules of thumb: Requires some self awareness-- Does it matter to you? How do you feel reading it? Emotionally.. If a headline appears too wild to be true, it's probably too wild to be true Find a second source that happens to be a credible source Beware of the “example of one” A story being built around one incident and presenting it as a trend. Don't underestimate how lazy some journalists can be. When you come across a clickbait headline, always ask yourself if the article backup what the headline said. More often than not, it doesn't. Disney land sandwich for $100, actually feeds 8 people Know the difference between a primary source and a secondary source. Know the difference between an opinion piece and a news article. Credible sources employ professional journalists and fact checkers, non credible sources do not.
