"For instance, imagine you were to visit Stormfront, a white supremacist message board, to try to understand racist claims in order to debunk them. “Even if you see through the horrible rhetoric, at the end of the day you gave that place however many minutes of your time,” Mr. Caulfield said. “Even with good intentions, you run the risk of misunderstanding something, because Stormfront users are way better at propaganda than you. You won’t get less racist reading Stormfront critically, but you might be overloaded by information and overwhelmed.”
Isn't viewing MSM the same thing? But worse since it occupies so much more of everyone's time than some unheard of white supremacy site.
"As we are taught" is the key phrase there, because "critical" no longer means "analytical," it means "criticizing," finding ways to support grievance theologies. And I do mean theologies, Marxism seeks to replace traditional religion.
So let me get this straight... pasted from the article:
Resist the lure of rabbit holes, in part, by reimagining media literacy for the internet hellscape we occupy.
... you might be overloaded by information and overwhelmed
The goal of disinformation is to capture attention, and critical thinking is deep attention
... to combat this dynamic is to change how we teach media literacy: Internet users need to learn that our attention is a scarce commodity that is to be spent wisely.
Attention as a scarce commodity, eh. Right... because thinking is such a waste of time!
The SIFT method... has been picked up by dozens of universities across the country and in some Canadian high schools. What is potentially revolutionary about SIFT is that it focuses on making quick judgments. A SIFT fact check can and should take just 30, 60, 90 seconds to evaluate a piece of content.
The four steps are based on the premise that you often make a better decision with less information than you do with more
Well, it’s clear they’re targeting information from Q supporters...We should do a THINK Campaign to start countering this nonsense, or some shit, LOL And I know it’s awful to say, but it might be the reality: those who give up thinking for themselves won’t survive in this world. They’re not going to be saved, but there’s still no shortage of minds of their. Handing out redpills is great - but it won’t be as effective it were to start reminding people to put their thinking hats on, if that makes sense.
"Noo! Don't use common sense, that's ridiculous and DANGEROUS"
Wow. That was a nauseating piece of propaganda to read.
“Studies show that the Times is the only reliable source of information.”
More like:
"ANONYMOUS SOURCES SAY that the Times is the only reliable source of information."
Truly Orwellian.
lol, things must be desperate. Too many waking up? Wakey wakey

Thank you!

On other words, blindly accept anything you hear on the internet and don't overthink it. Is that about what NYTs is saying?
