When someone lies knowingly, or when he spreads fake news without verifing them ? How to react ?1- Do we argue over the lies, this way giving credibility and air time or do we dismiss straight away as what rhey are, pure lies, and do not argue over they truth ? after watching a member of a french organisation that job is to debunk fake news speak, it seems a better idea to not give them any importance and air time. What do you think ? 2- what responsabilities lies in the hand of those that do not lie knowingly but spread rumours and misconception to fit their known agenda ?
Are we all reponsible for checking the news ? Every news ? Is it enough to question them ? Is integrity and heart and mind honesty compelling when talking about politcal matters ? Thanks Trumpet for bringing these questions to the foreground ...
There is always a silver lining...

All i do here is ask for sources and try to verify it myself.Never take political news by an ideologist as fact. Yes, I do think it is a personal responsibility for each person to think twice before sharing "facts" ------------------
Partial truth~the seeds of wisdom~can be found in many places...The seeds of wisdom are contained in all scriptures ever written… especially in art, music, and poetry and, above all, in Nature.

I usually check for myself, or ask others. I wary of people starting lies, on my side of things, as well. IP: Logged |
