Right… the video and photos are fakes and Columbia Journalism Review is a conspiracy rag 🙄

You Are Not Immune To Propaganda


Previously on c/asklemmy: What are some good places to start getting acquainted with American politics in as unbiased a manner as possible?

The first step is to understand the media, which Media Bias/Fact Check and the Ad Fontes Media* are never going to teach you. The only people who are taught it are those who get degrees in marketing, public relations, political science, history, and journalism; and even then only some of them.

The new post-Trump/“post-truth” media literacy curricula won’t teach it to you either, because it was paid for and crafted by the US military-industrial complex: New Media Literacy Standards Aim to Combat ‘Truth Decay’.

This week, the RAND Corporation released a new set of media literacy standards designed to support schools in this task.

The standards are part of RAND’s ongoing project on “truth decay”: a phenomenon that RAND researchers describe as “the diminishing role that facts, data, and analysis play in our political and civic discourse.”

None of it is a secret, though, and it can be learned.


*I’ve criticized MBFC & Ad Fontes before:

The videos and photos are very much real, but they do not leave any evidence for your titles or descriptions of them.

The article of the Columbia Journalism Review does not argue that the Chinese government did not massacre people as a result of pro-democracy demonstrations. It just argues it didn't happen literally at the square.

You might be the one absorbing and repeating propaganda here.

Golly, after all these years of investigating and talking with people, that thought had never occurred to me. You‘ve opened my eyes to new possibilities.

The cia massacred people. The legitimate demonstrations were hijacked by colonialist cia agents who wanted to enslave all of china to the usa.
