TWOLER: Washington Post offers 9 pointers to unmask your relative’ conspiracy theories

The Washington Post has actually currently beclowned itself today with Glenn Kessler’s fact-check of “the incendiary claim that George Soros funds Alvin Bragg.” Kessler got buried in Community Notes, which he grumbled about, leading to more Community Notes contesting his problem. It’s obvious Soros bankrolls the projects of liberal district lawyers– he even composed an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal discussing why.

It’s twice as humiliating that the Washington Post believed to use 9 ideas to fact-check your pals and household when they begin spouting conspiracy theories.

When you’re talking with somebody who thinks in a conspiracy theory, [professor and political scientist at the University of Wisconsin Mike] Wagner stated it can be handy to ask: Who’s taking advantage of your thinking this? Who’s raising cash or generating income since of the audience they’ve constructed from this?

Wagner stated that it can be handy to advise individuals that if someone at a mainstream news outlet such as The Washington Post or NPR reports something that’s incorrect, they can be fired.

“People who work for truly ideological talk programs or podcasts do not have the exact same concern,” Wagner stated. “They do not get in difficulty in the exact same method.”

Mentioning the lab-leak theory, remember this?
