If "we are the news," we need to do a way better job of fact-checking. It's pitiful and it's happening way too much lately. Blue checkmarks don't mean what they once did.

A simple Google Image search showed that the "Leaked Docs Reveal Latest Round of 'Protests' Are Paid Agents Provocateurs" is an image that's been floating around for at least the last 5 years.

There's no accountability for posters on here who post disinformation, and it's just dystopian. Over time, it also will diminish the credibility of this board.

Go away. You aren't the news, you aren't the fact checker.

I am SHOCKED to learn Vox posted it sincerely and believed it 100% without question.

Shouldn’t you be out with the other grooming Marxists protesting a Tesla dealership?

The tweets are “checked” by numerous posters. If it BS, then it gets called out.

I'm not a liberal and I would never "cry" over an election. I've never had a strong emotional attachment one way or the other to any politician, because I don't believe in political saviors but I do believe in this thing called self-determination.

You are either 16 or 75.

Another funny example from this morning: John Roberts is part of a secret club that includes Boasberg and other far left judges

The X post even has the meme (unironically)

You’ll get downvoted for this but it’s pretty annoying. People on both sides see anything online that agrees with their agenda and run with it as fact

Thanks for confirming that this has been going on for over five years.

Yes, circulating stupid memes without question by NPCs has been going on over 5 years.

Elon bought X to improve freedom of speech. Not authenticate it. That's a reader's job.

True, the board is terrible at that job, but the point still stands.

You vote for individuals who believe you can change their gender and legitimate retards. A Tweet is the least of your worries

No no I didn’t ask for a picture of your father. However, the picture does explain a lot.
