Since I joined this site I've been promoting honesty.

None of that video matters if you're only concerned with confirming your biases instead of the facts.

Are you sure about that?

One more reason not to use FaceBook or Twitter or snap chat

The problem most people have is believing a consensus makes something a fact, it doesn't.

What's the reason?

It's full of self iimportant people who think what they had for breakfast or the size and smell of their morning bowel movement is important
and if you have to fact check everything you read why not just get info from a reliable source the first time

I use Facebook as an archive for old pictures and videos. I had no idea there is a "news feed" there. Sounds like more fake news by the MSM to imply Facebook has any value other than reconnecting with co-eds from high school and college or selling a product.

People who leave the tea bag in their cup while they drink run the risk of spillage. This PSA leaves the impression that Google is encouraging irresponsible tea drinking. How can we fact check that? hmmmm

I don't do facebook either. But facebook isn't the reason the story gained traction. People angry at Muslim's is the reason.

Now had I been on facebook and for some strange reason received that story in my feed, I would not have had a need to fact check it. I would have immediately dismissed it as irrelevant.

Just irrelevant? Or total BS?

Irrelevant. I would assume it to be total bs, but then I would have to fact check it to find out for sure.
