Edición de La Ventana a las 16h del martes 11 de marzo.El impacto de la desinformación en la opinión pública no es nuevo. A propósito del vigésimo aniversario del 11M, el catedrático Víctor Sampedro publicó un artículo en el diario Público donde señalaba que el peor bulo de la historia reciente de España fue atribuir a ETA la autoría del atentado. La psicóloga Dolores Albarracín, galardonada con el Premio Fronteras del Conocimiento de Ciencias Sociales 2025 de la Fundación BBVA, ha investigado cómo las creencias conspirativas se propagan en sociedades con alta incertidumbre y ansiedad.Desde que Trump ganó las elecciones en 2016, el debate sobre la desinformación en redes sociales ha sido constante. Plataformas como Facebook establecieron mecanismos de verificación para contrarrestar la propagación de noticias falsas, pero Zuckerberg considera que los verificadores han sido "demasiado sesgados políticamente" y han generado más desconfianza que credibilidad. Entre los afectados por esta decisión está Marta Campabadal, quien trabajaba como verificadora para PolitiFact, una organización independiente que colaboraba con Meta desde 2016. Desde Nueva York, Marta cuenta su experiencia en el programa de verificación y cómo la decisión de Meta ha impactado su labor.A menudo hablamos de datos sobre precariedad laboral, sobre las dificultades de acceder a una vivienda, sobre lo difícil que es encontrar trabajo de lo que has estudiado, de cómo se retrasa la maternidad y la paternidad por falta de recursos, del estrés y el aislamiento que pueden provocar las pantallas. Hablamos con Sara García, una chica de 21 años que ha escrito una carta a la directora de El País mostrando su perspectiva de lo que es ser joven en 2025.

Na, was meint Ihr? Wie oft hat Trump in seiner ersten Amtszeit gelogen? Unglaubliche 30.500 falsche oder irreführende Aussagen hatte damals der neugewählte amerikanische Präsident nachweislich während seiner ersten Amtszeit nach dem "Washington Post Fact Checker" getätigt. "PolitiFact" bewertete 70% seiner überprüften Aussagen als "größtenteils falsch". Lügen und Fake News als Mittel der Trumpschen Politik? Offensichtlich Ja! Aber warum glauben ihm scheinbar doch so viele Menschen, sodass er wiedergewählt wurde? Interessanterweise glauben wir irgendwann jede Story, wenn sie uns bloß oft genug und immer wieder erzählt wird. Deshalb beschäftigen wir uns u.a. mit der "Big Lie"- Technik, nach der die Wiederholung von Lügen sie für viele Menschen glaubwürdiger macht. Warum lügen wir überhaupt? Wie können wir uns vor Fake News und Deepfakes im Internet schützen? Wie können wir unseren Nachwuchs vor Fake News schützen? Können Notlügen vielleicht auch prosoziale Seiten haben? "Ehrlichkeit währt am längsten" - so ein Sprichwort. Ist es wirklich so? Und was ist "die Wahrheit"? Hat nicht jeder seine eigene Wahrheit und Realität? Das Thema Lügen ist ein universelles Phänomen und psychologisch hochinteressant, weil es tief in unserer kognitiven, sozialen und moralischen Entwicklung verwurzelt ist. Wusstet Ihr übrigens, dass Kinder unter vier Jahren nicht lügen können? Wir freuen uns wie immer über Eure Kommentare zu dem Thema - und bitte keine prosozialen Fake News… Bis nächsten Sonntag, Annika + Tilly

Trust in media, institutions, and corporate comms is eroding. Neil Brown, president of Poynter Institute and founder of PolitiFact, knows why—and how to fix it.

Yeah, it is a real thing and we are existing in it. From the looks of things most of us are struggling and that is never a good thing. An infodemic is a smash up between too much information and a pandemic. I didn't invent this term. Goes back to 2001-2003ish.   There is a pandemic of bad, worse and toxic levels of disinformation. People are getting sick or at risk of ingesting poor quality information sources.    I'm not being hyperbolic here. I stopped monitoring local and national news. All of it and cut back on social media too. And I actually turn off my phone at night.    In my limited defense, I did not want constant notifications of dubious statements and horrifying facts. I've mention this in the podcast. It is ok to take a break from the firehouse of news.   But there is a cost.  One morning, I woke up, turned on the phone and found out about not one but two wildfires.   We need safe and viable ways to monitor the news without crushing our spirts to dust. I have an idea or two.  This are just my ideas. We can build something better than what we have.    Doomscrolling will not get us there. If you need support contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988 or 1-800-273-8255, the Trevor Project at 1-866-488-7386 or text “START” to 741-741.   Resources Mentioned:  I strongly recommend a safe browser to visit websites. I'm thinking stuff like Duck Duck Go, Vivaldi or using an app that blocks tracking cookies.     Possibly set up a limited use account for your on-line and researching needs. APNews.com, this is a non-profit news organization. It reports the news but does not interpret the story. They don't make the news palatable. They tell you what the news story is and the known facts at the time. AP Fact Check, looks at stories that might be questionable true or false.   Reuters News is a business to business commercial news company. Similar philosophy to the AP, gives the story but generally does not embellish. Reuters news also has a fact check page to evaluate social media and visual images to provide verification on who created it and is it the truth. FactCheck.org is a project of The Annenberg Public Policy Center. Also includes SciCheck for science claims.   The Poyter Institute has Politifact which has fact checking in English and Spanish.

The “L-word.” It took some time for journalists to call a lie a lie when politicians uttered provable falsehoods. After all, don't all politicians stretch the truth when it comes to policies, opponents or their own accomplishments? Bill Adair, an award-winning journalist and educator, shares his thoughts and experiences in his book “Beyond the Big Lie: The Epidemic of Political Lying, Why Republicans Do It More, and How It Could Burn Down Our Democracy.” The creator of PolitiFact, the Pulitzer Prize-winning fact-checking site, and co-founder of the International Fact-Checking Network, has ideas about the problem -- and possible remedies. Adair is a professor of journalism and public policy at Duke University and a leader in the effort to combat misinformation. And, at the end of a year chock full of election rhetoric to analyze, he is my guest and guide on Equal Time. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Political science professor Stephen Nelson joins us to explain why it could be a sign of oligarchy in the United States.

2024 was filled with all sorts of lies from the media. From President Biden promising he wouldn't pardon his son, Hunter, to even Kamala saying she used to work the fryers at McDonald's, you won't believe what PolitiFact decided what the lie of the year was. Also on the show, we react to the Memphis Shelby County School board determining whether or not they should terminate Dr. Marie Feagins' contract and we listen to Rivera's Gen Z movie review of The Jerk (1979).

PolitiFact co-founder Bill Adair is still doing liberal-media interviews for his book on why Republicans lie more. He admitted to a public-radio host that the "Truth-O-Meter" is an imprecise, subjective measurement. Everything about the "independent fact-checkers" is loaded with partisan opinion.

Many of Donald J. Trump's cabinet picks have something in common: a very close relationship with Fox News. On this week's On the Media, hear about the revolving door from the conservative network to the White House. Plus, election conspiracy theories from Kamala Harris supporters go viral. And a satirical news site buys up Alex Jones' Infowars. [01:00] Host Brooke Gladstone speaks with Matt Gertz, senior fellow at Media Matters, about the re-opened revolving door between conservative media and the Trump administration. [11:52] Host Micah Loewinger sits down with Anna Merlan, senior reporter at Mother Jones, to discuss the flurry of apparent Democratic voters questioning election results on social media, and why, without backing from public officials, “BlueAnon” is likely a nonstarter.[20:05] Host Brooke Gladstone chats with Bill Adair, founder of PolitiFact and author of the new book Beyond the Big Lie, about the history of fact-checking and why the field – in desperate need of resources and reinforcements – is struggling to break through in our information ecosystem. [33:23] Host Micah Loewinger talks with Matt Pearce, former staff writer at the LA Times, and president of Media Guild of the West, about the media's audience problem.[43:00] Host Brooke Gladstone calls up Ben Collins, CEO of The Onion, because The Onion bought Alex Jones' Infowars.

Democrats need Just like in 2016, when everybody said the election of Trump would mean doom for the markets and the economy, and the market surged. 1200 points in a single day. To put this in perspective, the only times the DOW hit these kind of numbers were during Biden's first year in office when he lived on the muscle-memory of the Trump economy. Note that the largest single-day Dow Jones gain during Biden's term (after his first year) was a rise of approximately 701 points on June 2, 2023. Analysts credit the gain on a strong jobs report showing higher-than-expected employment numbers and a debt ceiling bill agreement that averted a potential government default. These combined factors led to increased investor confidence, pushing the Dow to its best daily performance for the year. Looking back, here is a bit more information on the DOW under Trump. During Donald Trump's presidency, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) saw several large gains, breaking the 1,000-point mark multiple times, especially during periods of recovery or major policy announcements. While exact tallies are scarce, records show several instances where the Dow surged over 1,000 points due to events like policy adjustments and reactions to market conditions. For example, in March 2020, as the U.S. confronted the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, stimulus measures and Fed interventions led to significant daily gains, with the DJIA seeing a record-breaking 2,100-point gain on March 24, 2020, in response to legislative moves for pandemic relief. The DOW's performance during Trump's tenure overall: The Dow Jones Industrial Average saw an overall gain of around 56%-57% during Donald Trump's presidency, from January 20, 2017, to January 20, 2021, before the COVID-19 pandemic's severe impacts. While the Dow hovered around 19,732 when Trump took office, it closed near 30,930 as his term ended. This impressive increase is largely attributed to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and deregulation policies, which boosted corporate earnings and market optimism prior to the pandemic in early 2020. The gains were especially notable in the context of sustained job growth and a low unemployment rate until the pandemic, which then caused a sharp, temporary drop in the market. Post-pandemic recovery further fueled stock increases as the economy began to stabilize in late 2020. However, critics note that Trump inherited a strong economy from Obama, which set a foundation for the gains seen initially during Trump's presidency.

Because a Trump win signaled a hell of a lot more than a market recovery. Watch as Scarborough goes on a tirade about Trump right after learning of Trump's victory. In his defense, almost every Leftist talking head propagandist said this word for word right after victory was declared for Trump: Joe Scarborough went on a 90-second, unhinged rant about Trump supporters this morning.This is what pure panic looks and sounds like.

In this episode of "Sara Gonzales Unfiltered," Sara discusses a potential third assassination attempt against Donald Trump at Coachella, revealed by the Riverside County Sheriff's Office. The accused, a Trump supporter and Instagram follower of Sara, joins to dispute the claims of fake passports and unregistered vehicles, exposing discrepancies in law enforcement's narrative. The conversation shifts to corruption in the sheriff's department, including a $7.5 million judgment and suspected political motives behind the incident. Sara then explores how Venezuelan gangs have taken over apartment complexes in Aurora, Colorado, despite media and fact-checkers like PolitiFact dismissing Trump's warnings. Footage reveals assaults on property management staff, and Sara condemns media lies while highlighting the FBI and Homeland Security's failure to act. Later, Sara welcomes Graham Allen, host of "Dear America," to discuss his documentary on the devastation caused by Hurricanes Helene and Milton in North Carolina. FEMA's delayed response in Republican-leaning areas raises concerns about political bias, especially as PolitiFact issued fact-checks defending the Biden-Harris administration and FEMA. Graham's documentary, available on Dear America Originals YouTube, reveals the true extent of the crisis. Sara and the panel also tackle how the mainstream media mocked Trump for playing music and bobbing his head during a town hall. They point out how the media spun the moment to portray Trump as confused, twisting a lighthearted situation into something negative.   Sara was joined by BlazeTV contributor Jaco Booyens, host of "The Bottom Line," and Eric July, founder of Rippaverse Comics.
