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.

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.
