Ditto, plus fake news can be countered by doing the homework using a variety of news sources.In order
Climate change is killing people
Terrorism is killing people
I doubt fake news is killing people except perhaps with laughter.
I guess it depends where your priorities lie

Yep, because all too many really don't want the news-- they want what's called "confirmation bias".I agree but we are talking fox watching americans hear... Homework on real news sites? i think not, it will burst their bubble.

I disagree.
Most people are either unwilling or unable to devote the time to correct the fake news that they see/hear. Those that do, often follow this train of thought...
Gee...Rush Limbaugh got me really upset with what all those librul commie fascist vegetarians are doing. I bet it isn’t really that bad. No problem, I’ll check out the REAL story on Fox News tonight. Later - on Facebook. “Did you catch the news?”. “Yeah man! Those damn veg-commie-feminazis are coming for our guns because they want to plant drugs in our children’s brains!”. “Yeah, I confirmed it. I even heard Hannity say it. Now git yer guns and post it to all your Facebook contacts, and thank Jesus for Fox News!”
Yes @metis and @ChristineM , they really do believe it.
As such, Fake News can, has, and will make the voting populous ignore real threats, and drive them into an unthinking frenzy about things that are simply not real. Therefore, without correcting/eliminating the fake news, no progress can be made anywhere else.
Edit: Ah, I see you two already got it.
But even that doesn't kill people-- at least I hope not.I disagree.

It also meant between a man and multiple women, a man and child bride, and/or a man and an unwilling bride who was purchased or captured, but we'll ignore all of that.Homosexual marriage, I opposed it, because it obliterated a word that for thousands of years in Western culture meant MARRIAGE between a man and woman.
By not taking appropriate action when it would have been easy, and when it would have not been too late; or worse, pressing for anger, fear, and even violence.....on any issue like climate change, drug addiction, ‘the war on drugs’, immigration, on income disparity, on access to safe abortions, on the need for war or to not go to war, etc....How many innocent people does it kill?
No, I don’t have numbers, but I’d be willing to bet that most don’t do more than occasionally scan headlines or listen to one or two (philosophically related) talking heads.But even that doesn't kill people-- at least I hope not.
BTW, I don't know if I'll agree with you on "most people" as I've seen no study that concludes that. Have you?

What a doltish statement. You support genocide and infanticide, denying babies the very right to continue to live.It also meant between a man and multiple women, a man and child bride, and/or a man and an unwilling bride who was purchased or captured, but we'll ignore all of that.
But anyway, it appears that rights and freedoms only matter to you if they're things you agree with.
In WESTERN Culture ? clean up those tri focals.It also meant between a man and multiple women, a man and child bride, and/or a man and an unwilling bride who was purchased or captured, but we'll ignore all of that.

Yeah, you support rights like hitler did, and the founder of PP, a eugenicist.
You pretend to support individual tights, yet endorse slaughter.
Classic lefty thinking
I thought that as a Christian you would've accepted biblical examples.In WESTERN Culture ? clean up those tri focals.
Not at all. Though the WESTERN definition of marriage has changed.I thought that as a Christian you would've accepted biblical examples.
Regardless, it's a moot point as gay marriage has been legal for a few years now. How has "traditional western marriage" suffered during this period?
Straw man ? You support the killing of unborn children on a grand scale, genocide. You are on the side of, and probably support the killing of babies born alive from a botched abortion, infanticide, No straw man, just fact.Straw man, false equivalency, AND Godwin.
Classic righty "thinking".
Not at all. Though the WESTERN definition of marriage has changed.
I accept all the Biblical examples from the NT. If you knew a tiny bit of the religion you believe you know everything about, you would know that the NT is the only one that counts.

Death is your delight.
Exactly what you deserveYou got me. I want to dive into a giant bin full of aborted fetuses and swim around like Scrooge McDuck.
LOL, the western definition of a word has nothing to do with my religious views.And this should apply to non-christians because...? If you think something is a "sin", fine, then don't do it. But you can't claim to be pro-freedom while trying to force your religious beliefs upon those who don't share them.
You are misled. Please stop trying to mislead others.Not at all. Though the WESTERN definition of marriage has changed.
