The fact that there are still Americans who don’t recognize Fake News blows my mind

Guaranteed way to shock an NPC. It takes 10 minutes of preparation but well worth the effort and it can be used many times.

Go to Google Yahoo Bing duckduckgo and dogpile. Do some simple searches and screen shot the auto fill results. I searched "Hillary Clinton" and "Uranium One"

Ask the NPC if they're aware of the bias on Google. They will either be ignorant or downplay it because "There is bias in everything, right? "

Show them your screen shots and give a quick explanation. They will immediately grab their phone to "fact check". Then they get quiet.

Key points: The screenshots work well because they don't have to wait between sites and they could compare side by side, back and forth (which they did). It's so immediately apparent that they can't ignore it and walk away.

Of course I showed them "Hillary Clinton" but "Uranium One" blew their mind because they had never heard of it and were SHOCKED to learn there was some controversy (Google doesn't mention it). Hell, two of them were surprised to see the term "Clinton body count" for the first time ever.

Try it, it works.

Holy shit. Never did this one. Literally nothing pops up under the Google one.

Redpilled my brother HARD with this. Idiot is a Trump supporter who still believes MSM.

I told him to search same thing on Google and DuckDuckGo. Told him Google censors conservatives.

His face told me everything I need to know. He got Redpilled on MSM.

Right now, hes in the spiral of continuing to fight against his urge that MSM would, never, ever, lie. It's great to watch. Accepting that MSM is lying and hates America is more of a tough pill to swallow for him than Google censoring conservatives.

Do the Google/DDG test on her next time she's concerned. Concern/fear is a great time to pull back the curtains.

It's very unusual that s lot of this crowd is fairly well educated, and usually pretty good at the work they do. They seem like normal, well adjusted smart people. But then they spend 25% of their life tied up in fake political news that sounds similar to the gossip mags at the grocery check out.

They refuse to recognize it, thus they never will. There are millions of people in this country that only want to hear Orange Man Bad, and will unquestioningly believe anything that validates that.

Well. We'll have to change that. Won't we?
