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.

It’s the same sort of idiocy I got when sharing the Frontline Doctors video. “Too bad it’s Breitbart, they have a bad rep.”

First, who says they have a bad rep? CNN? Second, it’s a fucking livestreamed, unedited video. And you’re disputing the source. Bravo.

Same for Trump videos. You better send them C-SPAN instead of Fox News links even though they are the exact same one hour presentation.

Lol why does breitbart have a worse rep than cnn or mcnbc etc anyway? I’d love to see Breitbart go head to head with any mainstream outlet on number of retractions. Tell me who deserves a bad rep then?
