Do you suffer from Fake News Syndrome? Do you have trouble telling a real CNN story from bot generated misinformation? Is Fox News too left leaning for you? There may be hope.

Now there is an inoculation for this malady. Bad News, a new online game by the good folks of the Expressive Intelligence Studio {a research lab at the University of California, Santa Cruz) will make you better at spotting fake news. Or it will make you so good at generating it, you may end up in a St. Pete basement with coworkers named Dima, Misha and Vova. Either way it turns out, if you like online gaming, and are not afraid to lie, cheat and steal to get likes and follows across the social media world, this might be the game for you.

Avoiding fake news is simple; just believe whatever the Washington Post tells you. Ignore the fact that Jeff Bezos bought it with money the CIA gave him.

Pravda on the Potomac For The WIN!

Funny how papers who carry a staff of investigative reporters that claim to interview people with direct knowledge of the subject of an article and who cite multiple sources tend to report the same things. New York Time, Washington Post, CNN, NPR, AlJazeera and others all report the same damn stuff. Also books on science and math contain the same stuff. Did you know that 2+2 is equal to 4 in every child's book about arithmetic? Its a damn conspiracy that they start with at an early age to brainwash us.

RT, is where we can go for an alternative perspective of the world.

Completely outrageous how you have to go to you-tube videos to learn the truth. Have you seen the stuff out there about the flat earth? You can't find stuff like that in the Washington Post, can you?

Do they pay you to shill for them like that?
 
Fogdog said:
Nope.

If you believe that I do, it would simply prove how lost you are to false conspiracy theories.

Ah, so you should for the credibility of an organization you know nothing about, for free.

And you actually think I'll ever take you seriously?
