🎧 The one in which @preciouschatd.bsky.social discusses disinformation & how fact checking doesn’t always work as we’d hope with @alexvont.bsky.social on @bunkerpod.bsky.social.

I knew a guy who listened to RT thinking he could discern their manipulation 😣 so 👇🥺

🌍 #PoliticsAndAllThat 🗳 #Podcasts 📻

A segment from the pod that I did not have the characters to type into my toot. It reads as follows, some bits elided for brevity.

66
“[People] are going to think ‘okay, I have the critical capacity to read between the lines’… and come up with something that approximates the truth. In fact […] people will knowingly consume Russian state sponsored media, knowing that that’s what it is, and knowing that it has a history of being unreliable, but trusting in their own capacity to make that judgement. Unfortunately, certainly in the UK context, actually the education system does not have that built in, that we would have those skills to enable us to make those judgement calls.”

I really enjoyed my conversation with the brilliant @preciouschatd.bsky.social. She says so much that’s interesting, but in particular it’s worth hearing her explain how fact-checking can actually help spread disinformation rather than effectively debunk it. bsky.app/profile/bunk...
