The Facts about Fact Checking: Crash Course Navigating Digital Information #2

Crash Course is a perfect proof of internet value! And I'm NOT sucking up.

I did a fack-check on Obama's speech in Belgium and it was is fake, in reality, is not because the same speech you find it under Obama White house!

IMPORTANT: so-called Fact Checkers are NORMALLY falsifying information. Just look up "fact checkers" videos to see the methods they use to lie on a regular basis. Without mentioning this, one may get the false impression that it's a good idea to use fact checkers.

Who checks the fact checkers, dearie?

Facts are like statistics.

Who’s still following in 2020!?

Thank you, John Green! My teachers in school cared less about my self-development than you.

The description has a mistake. "We'll also talk about the difference between skepticism and cynicism, and".

You seem out of focus.

Do "trusted news organizations" even exist anymore?

Shag. Haha. Shag.

I love your videos. But I can not share them, because of the lack of subtitules in spanish. Will you considered adding them?

"MediaWise is supported by Google." This is reason enough to NOT believe or trust anything you say.

In essence:
Straw-men always lie about their motivations.

I think that the more crappy a site looks the better the chances of being an official site.

I don't need a fact checker to tell me the team is actually called Manchester United

Please translate to Indonesian

Yikes...you are aging like milk my dude.

Do fact checkers ever fact check newspapers?
I wonder why?

I named my dog Steve 😆

An entity can call itself a fact checking resource, but that does not make it true. Who fact checks the fact checkers?

I recently read The Fault In Our Stars, I loved it, and it did clear up my skin and improve my wardrobe. I give it five turtles.

With all due respect, I thought your video was misleading. You explicitly claim that the American College of Physicians (ACP), and by extension, the Annals of Internal Medicine, are not reliable sources since they conflict with the current LBGT community's political and worldviews since they have split from the AAP. Mind you, the Annals of Internal Medicine is one of the most influential medical journals worldwide.

"Oh God, time has come for me... Time for a midlife crisis!"

One of the things I was told in University was to trust government sources over others. I find this ridiculous. I was home schooled, which means I didn't grow up solely within a government sponsored curriculum. I notice when they have a clear agenda for teaching something. Why do the schools in my province spend so much time paying lip service to residential schools but say nothing about current issues at all? Like the fact that Reserve schools are being forced to teach the white curriculum using white methods under threat of having their funding cut (which I learned from a course on Indigenous issues in Canada, discussed at an indigenous summit 1996 and still current). I'm going to say this once: Governments have propaganda, they have agendas, and they have lobbyists who pay for misinformation. This is a universal problem, and not just something that happens in someone else's country.

May I ask How You edit your videos? What software do you use?

...And this is before Chat GPT...

in the 20th century it was called loyalty testing.

I read the fault in our stars and it did nothing for my acne.

One of my worst mistakes is only fact checking things that don't align with my current assumptions.

The novel perspective of this content is captivating. A book with like themes offered a fresh view on life. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint

Are we all just going to pretend that John calling Manchester United, "United Manchester FC" never happened or...? 😂

Tbh, the number of times I have seen "fact checkers" pop up on Facebook claiming something is false because it differs from their own political opinions, is too much. Soooooo

"Better information leads to better decision making, which leads to a better world." NICE QUOTE!

What are good strategies for verifying any information online?
