    Misinformation?

    What's your opinion on misinformation?


    Who decides what is disinformation?

    If the goal is to get rid of disinformation, we're gonna need to censor every politician in the country because they all lie. Constantly.

    Biden has said that the border is secure. Just to name one example.

    There's this thing called Free Speech and telling lies is protected. It's up to every individual to find the truth. Don't be lazy.

      Perhaps the biggest misinformation going is the transgender lie.

          Some people are only happy when they are taking other people's freedoms away. But if it's hinted that one of their freedoms is in jeopardy out comes the victim card.

            EXCLUSIVE - Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., demanded an investigation into allegations that a controversial United Nations agency's employee detained one of the hostages kidnapped by Hamas during the Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
            "The United States will not be complicit in propping up Hamas' terrorism, and this report further proves why deep change is necessary within UNRWA before we even consider providing another dollar to the agency," Blackburn wrote in a letter obtained by Fox News Digital and addressed to U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Linda Thomas-Greenfield and United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini.
            "It is deeply concerning that, despite the prevalence of these reports, the United Nations has seemingly done nothing to investigate or prevent the siphoning of UNRWA funding by terrorists, and UNRWA continues to double down on its claims that each subsequent, documented report is ‘unsubstantiated.’"

            This is the same U.N. that ranked Canada as one of the freest countries. LOL

              IT'S SIMPLE.

              Read this entire post:
              List of fallacies - Wikipedia

              Then you realize EVERYONE is lying to you.

              When you become like me and see that Dems and Reps lie, entering the world of constant and perpetual cynicism, you will realize it's better to be a Libertarian.
              Minimal governmental control over people's lives, maximum individual liberty.

              Think of it as... Classical Liberalism, before Bush/Obama.

                  Some people, like the creator of several threads on this forum, believe only centre or left leaning politicians lie. Even when you prove otherwise they will never change their stance.

                      My main point in this thread is censorship. Everyone knows that Biden lied when he said the border is secure. Do I want that statement censored on twitter or in the legacy media? Nope. We should let the misinformation remain and debate it openly.

                      Liberals believe that we need protected from lies and that we're too dumb to make informed decisions. Or they just want to control information.

                          True Dat. It was never more clear than during covid. There was enough false information from everywhere but a lot of it came from our government. It was ridiculous. Wear one mask...wear two. On and on....

                              Cleary, you're saying that it's okay to expose kids to porn and that you support abortion up to conception.
