I am working on ways to talk with people who do not trust current fact-checking media outlets such as Politico, Factcheck.org, and Snopes. I would love to hear from people who do and do not trust these organizations. Why you do/do not trust these organizations? How often do you read or see articles from these outlets? And finally what are some of the Fact-checking media outlets that you do trust and follow and why?

Please reach out with any other questions or comments that you might have!

Hope to talk to all of you!

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

We trust OURSELVES and data that is able to be EMPIRICALLY PROVEN, regardless of the originating outlet.

This is why the left keeps losing. They let others control their information and be the gatekeepers.

We figure our own shit out.

It's hard to fool thousands of us when we ALL research everything to the point of exhaustion.

We are our own gatekeepers.

We don't need journalists. We don't need fact checkers. We don't need the legacy media.

We are the news. We are the media now.

Hi, thank you for your answer! It is really important to do your own fact-checking, I believe that the more are taught to do fact-checking and be media literate the better. And, I think we would not need fact-checkers if everyone would think twice before sharing something online!

You said you don't need journalists, if you don't mind me asking, do you follow any kind of news organization? Or do you tend to stay away from news in general?
