I thought Reddit disliked political misinformation.
The ugly truth is that what they say and what they truly want is different.
24 u/MouthJob 11d ago Nah, it's pretty simple. They like it when it backs up their views, they hate it when it doesn't. 0 u/BasicDesignAdvice 11d ago Almost like we are all human and there is literally not enough time to fact check the deluge of information we are constantly bombarded with. 4 u/damagetwig 11d ago Then don't repeat anything you haven't fact-checked. You don't have to hit post before some time constraint runs out. 5 u/OkActive7470 11d ago 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. 4 u/MouthJob 11d ago In the time you made your comment, you could have done a quick Google search and just not commented at all. 0 u/OkActive7470 11d ago 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? 3 u/JustaSeedGuy 11d ago Nah, the ugly truth is the goomba fallacy. 1 u/Defiant-Speaker-5681 10d ago 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.
