Honestly even putting this nonsense in a headline is negligent.
They’re complicit and they know it. Its better for profits this way.
It’s called the 24/7 news cycle. They need to keep pumping out trash like this otherwise they might not improve their profit margins.
The6 are going to run the country. We need ti known what these people think
Maybe we shouldn’t inform the population about this… And any other of Trump’s plans since they’re so obviously bad they don’t need explanation?
Simply irresponsible to not do so, especially after an election where so much of the population were convinced Trump would be better for the economy. If anything we should be working harder to inform people, not looking for reasons to avoid these topics. What if someone saw that RFK would be doing this and saw no counter to his misinformation? Because it’s below someone to even discuss?
It’s a duty to inform people, and I’m glad poynter is taking the initiative.
To support this counterpoint, this is exactly the headline my moron coworker would click and MAYBE get corrected in his stance on fluoridated water
Thank you. The number of up votes the comments get saying that we shouldn’t even bother discussing this are staggering.
Don’t feed the trolls.
Organize, resist, never submit unless forced at gunpoint.
Yeah that’s crazy to me. Of course it’s sad that we are at this point but to suggest that the article shouldn’t be written is just silly. What’s the alternative? Just isolate ourselves in our little echo chambers? People aren’t as intelligent as we’d like to believe. Moreover, confirmation bias and selective reasoning are strong behavioral forces. There has to be some middle ground between grossly unprofessional profit seeking and state run media.
Pretending there are two sides to arguments like this is a cause of brain rot. The middle ground between truth and a lie is a lie.
Sheesh. How would the uniformed learn anything in your version of the world? People aren’t born with perfect omniscience. Skepticism and uncertainty exist, plain and simple. Fill in information asymmetries with quality information. That’s all that can be done.
Yea I mean, Poynter is a non-profit fact checking and journalism institute… They launched IFCN. Square all those accusations you’re seeing around here for me :)
You think this is stupid?
RFK Jr. also thinks cell phones and 5G cause cancer. So get ready for an America with slow cell data and phones you’re not allowed to put up to your ear.
I heard him tell a bullshit story about how he has hundreds of clients with grapefruit-sized tumors behind their ears from using cell phones. You know how you see all those people walking around with giant tumors behind their ears? Me neither.
The anti-5G propaganda was funded by manufacturers who weren’t ready to upgrade, to buy some time.
RFK Jr is a con artist.
So get ready for an America with slow cell data and phones you’re not allowed to put up to your ear.
Hello EDGE, my old friend…
But don’t report on those things, because it’s irresponsible to do that. It’s simply to fill the 24/7 news cycle, not to inform anyone (despite this being a fact checking institute). /s
What is going on in this sub?
Answer is No. This is junk science
Yes but my cousin’s friend’s daughter once prayed about it and it was true… so like , er, CHECKING MATE… er ? Right?
Every time I see a question in a news headline, I just answer it with “no.” in my head and move on. 90% of the time it’s the same answer the article arrives at and the other 10% of the time, I’ll see a real headline about it from other sources anyway–with the actual lede in the title.
Awesome, I didn’t know this
It might be beneficial for some to understand the “what” and “why” behind the “no,” no?
Not American but I feel like at this point I’d get a four year supply of popcorn and try to encourage the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen.
Eg. Hulk Hogan should be head of the EPA. Start a campaign and mock outrage when trump is silent on the matter.
Why not hulk head up the DHS? Department of Hulkland Security!
The guy had worms in his brain! IQ loss is like second nature to him
No.
