Re: Facebook Still Battling Fake News
As Fox News has shown, there is group of Americans who will believe anything if it fits their biases.
Honestly, this kind of confirmation bias applies to most of us. The tendency to believe what confirms what you "already know" is a very strong one that requires active self-examination and investigation to combat. Most folks don't even try.
Only a semi-scientific approach has any chance of getting the answer right. If instead you are used to accepting what you see on youtube videos and infomercials, you have zero hope of getting stuff right.

Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846)
"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
We got a thousand points of light for the homeless man. We've got a kinder, gentler, machine gun hand. Neil Young, Rockin' in the Free World.
Worrying about the "browning of America" is not racism. -- Faith
I hate you all, you hate me -- Faith
No it is based on math I studied in sixth grade, just plain old addition, substraction and multiplication. -- ICANT
