It's quite interesting what kind of changes we will see in the next one or two decades. Alone the technological achievements we got in the last 30 to 40 years since I was a kid, is just crazy. AI media is possible in my opinion and I'm sure it is already used at least for the text news. Maybe photos too but reworked with photoshop. But we are getting there.
Question: Are we getting more or less fake news then?
What did you get when you had Rather, Jennings, and Brokaw? We presumed they were telling us the truth and it turns out they werent. With the media today, it is most all clickbait and propaganda.
Have to dig deep into what is real. The problem is that anyone with a phone can offer an opinion, often without much knowledge. Add in ideology and you see how it can be tilted to, if not fake, at least influence.
But the Biden laptop not being real turned out to be fake news yet the media ran with it.
So who is the fake news purveyors is probably a better question.
That's why I don't read or watch the news most often. Even if I do, I have a very low tolerance and question everything. I was sceptic before but it escalated while in Corona.
Yep. Presume they are running an angle at best or outright lying at most.
The last part really woke many up to the realities of what the media machine it. It is a 4th branch of government.
