Maybe we shouldn’t inform the population about this… And any other of Trump’s plans since they’re so obviously bad they don’t need explanation?
Simply irresponsible to not do so, especially after an election where so much of the population were convinced Trump would be better for the economy. If anything we should be working harder to inform people, not looking for reasons to avoid these topics. What if someone saw that RFK would be doing this and saw no counter to his misinformation? Because it’s below someone to even discuss?
It’s a duty to inform people, and I’m glad poynter is taking the initiative.
Yeah that’s crazy to me. Of course it’s sad that we are at this point but to suggest that the article shouldn’t be written is just silly. What’s the alternative? Just isolate ourselves in our little echo chambers? People aren’t as intelligent as we’d like to believe. Moreover, confirmation bias and selective reasoning are strong behavioral forces. There has to be some middle ground between grossly unprofessional profit seeking and state run media.
Yea I mean, Poynter is a non-profit fact checking and journalism institute… They launched IFCN. Square all those accusations you’re seeing around here for me :)
Honestly even putting this nonsense in a headline is negligent.
They’re complicit and they know it. Its better for profits this way.
The6 are going to run the country. We need ti known what these people think
It’s called the 24/7 news cycle. They need to keep pumping out trash like this otherwise they might not improve their profit margins.

To support this counterpoint, this is exactly the headline my moron coworker would click and MAYBE get corrected in his stance on fluoridated water
Thank you. The number of up votes the comments get saying that we shouldn’t even bother discussing this are staggering.
