Sometimes I’ll just be like ‘you’re not a high school social studies teacher, you don’t need a works cited page. Either believe it or not.’ Other times I’ll point out their pattern of behavior and argument strategy before they even get to the final stage, where they say since it didn’t come from a reputable source it doesn’t count. They don’t seem to grasp all of their beliefs are being influenced by propaganda sources so of course any real news will seem strange to them. They’re interesting creatures.

A true failure and corruption of our education system from early ages all the way through college which just reinforced that style of thinking. Now they can’t even step back and see the logic in many arguments including the one you just made.

I only trust studies approved by reputable sources like CNN.
