Stefan. Outlets you support such as
#rebelmedia are a prime example of why fact-checking has become necessary. Allow me to give a couple of quick examples. (1) Stephen Yaxley-Lennon goes on national television and deliberately misquotes a former PM, William Gladstone. 1/3 -
Katie Hopkins alleges that responsibility for the recent burning of cars in Gothenburg directly lies with migrants. With no clear evidence. 2/3.

While I, and am sure many others, are open to hearing arguments from all sides (right, left, and in-between). The simplistic and often incorrect points these outlets reduce them to should be seen for what they really are
#fake. For this reason, fact checking is now a must. 3/3

Remember having to actually cite your sources instead of telling people just to "Google it?"

I think it’s more of a matter of time, who has enough minutes in the day to check everything- find a good reliable source and try to keep an open mind about what you read

If that was true you would’ve never elected JFK, gotten involved in Vietnam, deposed any Middle Eastern democracies, Or started the war on drugs. Dude we’ve been lied to since the beginning and it’s not gonna stop now
