RE: Is the Mainstream Media Really Fair and Balanced?

in #fakenews8 years ago

@krnel this is a fascinating read. Great to see a more measured and unemotional overview of the current understanding and interpretation of information. I overheard a friend talk about us living in a 'post-truth' era, interesting to think where our corporate sense of truth now comes from or doesn't come from. What's the 'plumbline'....?

Sort:  

Yeah, it's a new buzz word related to fakenews hype social engineering. I did a post on int a while back: Post-Truth - Orwellian Newspeak Arrives in the Oxford Dictionary (Spouse of FakeNews). Thanks for the feedback. I don't know what the plumbline reference is for hehe.

Ah nice, I'll go have a read! Re: plumbline reference....what is the measurement used to measure truth (if there is one). I guess that's a whole new discussion and field of thought. My comment was perhaps more rhetorical - outward processing lol
