Identifying Fake News in the Time of the Presidential Election – Ultimate Guide to Avoid Panic and Indifference
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Here is an effort to deal with the fake news MEME. It is not good of course. The practise has always been with us, I am sorry to say. The problem today is that it has become easy to impliment and exploit. Back in the day, a PR firm could have put about critical news stories describing the health dangers of butter. Once that had been accepted, it was then easy to put about stories pitching margerine. All this reconditioned the market to demand the use of margerine. It is still an exercise in both scientific and jounalistic fraud. Seventy years on it is business as usual and m...

The totality of defence witnesses and the sheer extent of mutual corroboration they provided could not simply be dismissed by the prosecution attempting to characterise all of them as uninformed o...
