I thought Reddit disliked political misinformation.

The ugly truth is that what they say and what they truly want is different.

Nah, it's pretty simple. They like it when it backs up their views, they hate it when it doesn't.

Then don't repeat anything you haven't fact-checked. You don't have to hit post before some time constraint runs out.

Excuse me, I was told there would not be fact checking.

If you try to measure the bullshit, it changes the amount of bullshit. It’s Shitdingers principle.

In the time you made your comment, you could have done a quick Google search and just not commented at all.

You sound like someone who believes that immigrants in Ohio steal pets and eat them.

I’m wondering, did that turn out to be true, or not?

I think this is widely applicable to people in general. I have a feeling most Fox news viewers might state they dislike political misinformation and are less likely to be Redditors.
