0025 - Misinformation Sources
So many sources out there are spewing bullshit. Most of us can tell fact from fiction, but convincing Dysevidentia sufferers that their favorite source is supplying non-sense is hard. Just having a good vocabulary to discuss this can help, Mako and Sqeaky have a conversation and share some of the ways they think about kinds of sources and provide a simple list of things to check that many should have but might not have thought about it specifically.
Here are all the sources and timestamps we used in this episode
