I'm noticing right wing media has turned into a mockingbird system of its own where blatantly false information can be continuously propped up because nobody apparently is fact checking anymore. We need a return to our roots and fact check everything. We can't turn into an echo chamber of falsehoods like the left and mainstream. Double, triple check everything. That is all.

Good reminder sir. Reason why I left telegram, too much bullshit floating around, emotionally triggering non-fact checked videos that even the people on the right kept sharing.
My basic rules for Telegram are:
There's some great anons doing research everywhere. Sometimes we have to pick up where they left off.
I remember the truther movement in '04. It grew into what we have now because we kept digging. Treat information like crumbs and keep digging. It'll be bullshit, or it will get worse.
I don't know. Q taught us to do our own research. If I say Q is real, is someone going to fact check me? Or are you going to do your own research?
That's why when I see something, I usually double check it to make sure it exists.
In most theories, its important to find the red line where the physical evidence ends and the speculation begins.
That will teach you a lot by defining that alone.
Theoretically, both. One should do his own research, but we should also be fact-checking everything that gets posted here, to the extent we can.
Each of us has our own expertise. I wouldn't, for example, be able to call out BS from an auto mechanic, but an auto mechanic pede here could. I could think it was totally legit and post it until they chimed in to call BS. We rely on that, especially when legal or medical things are involved. There's a reason why you get a post-graduate education to do these things.
I don't think it's so simple as just "do your own research."
My rule for Telegram is don't touch it with a 10 foot pole. No way to know who is legit and who is not.
You're not supposed to "take someone's word for it."
You should be scrutinizing you news sources. Otherwise you will be victim to groupthink.
Sometimes I read the opposing view, just to see what the lefties are eating. This is how you learn what's really going on.
and all of the shilling for Trump bux
Please leave this stickied at the top forever.
Snopes says you are wrong :)
The divorced loser sitting in his basement in his shorts says . . .
There, I fixed it. :)
I would love to see a snopes page fact-checking that fact.
I may have stretched about him being in the basement in his underwear, but the rest is verifiable. :)
The snopes guy is a loser. I think he's farming out work now, but it used to be just him and his wife.
I would say a good portion of this is intentional to discredit us.
Reagan, famously said 'Trust, but verify.' There is a corollary that applies now: 'doubt, but verify'.
Rule #1......ALL media lies. That is all.
They also report the election as if there was no fraud. Irks me to no end.🙄😡
Being accurate is important. No one is going to listen to us if we fall for blatant misinformation
Always has been...

Exactly. Nothing new here.
What is a right wing media? To me, msm is msm
I think the Post is owned by a republican?
Confirmation bias will be our downfall. The left embraces theirs and works it to their advantage. The right is too fragile to admit they even have any.
Our problem is when we turn into a Hopium Den.
It's like trying to argue with a kid that sugar is bad, while they keep saying "But it feels good! And it gives me energy"
This! ☝🏻 Great analogy! ☺️
This is why I can't listen to X22 anymore.
Fact check the SM fact checkers!!!
This
Very good point. I stay away from ALL media
Do you have any examples?
The biggest false information faggots on the conservative side are the big time "anons" who are constantly posting on Truth and other sites that "this is going to happen next week folks" or "After this, this happens, you idiots" as if they know anything.
X22, Clandestine, Greg Phillips and all his buddies.
These guys are all CIA imo.
It's really crazy, many times on here I point out facts to people and get called a doomer and twice I've been put on a three day ban.
