hahahaha snopes and politifact

weeeeeeeeeeew

Yeah, because none of that stuff was at all mixed to begin with.

who fact-checks the fact checkers?

be a good goy and stop asking questions

fact checkers of the fact checkers of the fact checkers.

you just triggered the independent thought alarm

At this point, is it possible to make an actual alternative to Google?

inb4 Fuck Fuck No. Startpage is also pretty garbage.

It's possible to make it but who's gonna do it?

What are the prerequisites? How much money and resources are we talking here? Bare with me, I'm just a lowly 2nd year Comp Sci fizzbuzzer.

Yes you can, but will it ever be as good? lmao no

Google's the most evil company today. A lot of nerds still haven't realized that. It's fucking sad.

FUCKING
SHUT
HIM
DOWN

DELET

If everyone reading this post donated $1 million we wouldn't need Google anymore.

DELET THIS

What do you mean ? I use DuckDuckGo/Startpage and even if it's sometimes lacking (now that you mention it I had to use google for "illegal" or specific things such as cracked apps or games) it gets the job done

>implying anyone trusts (((snopes))) or (((politifact)))

(((google))) is just digging their hole deeper and deeper when they expose themselves as intelligence agency and left wing agents like this

use qwant instead of google search

B-BAKANA !!

>politifact
politifact is full of bullshit, lies, and bias

what's so bad about it? Doesn't it fit your worldview?

Snopes is a fucking joke. Don't really know about Politifact.

I don't care anymore.

Exactly. A search engine shouldn't enforce any particular worldview, and should be usable for people with any worldviews.

shut up you're gonna get us on even more lists

You can always not use google ya big doof

...

Delete this right now you fucking goyim

Delet this.

CEASE YOUR INVESTIGATION

>Our ruling

>Sanders said that for African-Americans between the ages of 17 and 20, "the real unemployment rate … is 51 percent." His terminology was off, but the numbers he used check out, and his general point was correct -- that in an apples-to-apples comparison, African-American youth have significantly worse prospects in the job market than either Hispanics or whites do. The statement is accurate but needs clarification or additional information, so we rate it Mostly True.

politifact.com/virginia/statements/2016/jun/20/donald-trump/trump-misleadingly-puts-black-youth-unemployment-r/

>Our ruling

>Trump says the unemployment rate for black youths is 59 percent.

>The unemployment rate is a widely used term with a specific definition: It refers to the percentage of jobless people in the workforce who are actively seeking employment. In May, the unemployment rate for blacks ages 16 to 24 was 18.7 percent, or less than one-third of Trump’s claim.

>Trump’s campaign didn’t respond to our question about where the candidate got his 59 percent figure. But it appears likely it comes from a computation of all 16- to 24-year-old blacks who aren’t working and may not even want a job, including high school and college students.

>Clearly, black youths have a harder time finding work than whites. But Trump exaggerates the issue through his misleading use of statistics.

>We rate his statement Mostly False.

Ohh sweet summer goyim

daily reminder that all of the cringey "replies to ebin post xD" to are from redditors who joined Sup Forums since the_donald, the fappening and gamergate.

fuck off reddit back to your containment board.

God i fucking hate the donald. They ruin pol

oy vey we've been found out

>im 14 and this is deep

Sup Forums ruined Sup Forums
The entire idea of a closed up political discussions board that ignores outside opinions out of reflex was a mistake. See Tumblr, if you need proof.

>What the fuck is this shit?

CIA misinformation for the masses.

No pol is or better was a real important site. There is literally no place where you can disuss soccially unaccebtable themes. Real discussion only takes place if every thought is allowed ,and pol (it might be99% shitpostin) is often closer to real truth then most people might think

This. A petty that /sg/ fags and shariablue are ruining it. When you try to talk to them they only answer muh Zionists. They've become the thing they hate more, SJWs.

>muh right wing sjw

KYS T_D

How about talking about "socially unacceptable themes" in public? It's not illegal, you won't be arrested. If you get attacked that just proves you right.

Sup Forums is a place for people with moronic easily disprovable ideologies to blabber about their bullshit without fear of being embarrassed. People with "socially unacceptable" ideas are usually very quickly able to turn the tide if their ideas have any merit. Twenty years ago, the idea of a proud and self-confessed socialist winning a primary would have been a joke. Today the DNC has to result to corruption to stop such an event from happening.

Most discussions on Sup Forums start by identifying a true problem in the world today (such as money in politics), and then offer some insane terrible idea as a solution (let’s vote a reality TV star for president). Too many people incorrectly assume that since Sup Forums could correctly identify the problem, they must also have correctly identified the solution too. Unfortunately, to a lesser extent this is also seen in the mainstream.

I do agree that an open and anonymous place for political discussion is valuable but Sup Forums has developed a culture of ignoring opinions simply for being popular. You will be disregarded as a ‘normie’ or shill simply for having an opinion that is backed by a sizeable part of the public. They don’t think for a second that maybe there is a reason as to why their arguments are laughed at while others have public backing. Because of this, Sup Forums ends up exclusively supporting almost entirely unfounded ideas (such as anarcho-capitalism, which can be proved unfit for use in a few sentences) simply because they aren’t discussed frequently. Again, discussing these ideas is important but believing them is something entirely different.

I just wish people would keep Sup Forums in Sup Forums. The Jews dont need to be mentioned in a Sup Forums thread.

It's fake news if it doesn't agree with my ideology, that's the thing.

i get arrested. Holocaust discussion or "hate speech" gets you arrested in germany

I'm sorry about that. Hopefuly whoever replaces Merkel will have the sense to have those laws removed, they really are cancerous.

i agree that pol posters need to stick to pol. I thin mentioning jews is fine though nothing too pol i think. Where i see you are wrong though is your analysis of pol. It inst simple contrarianism ,only because u dont like the Ideas and solutions pol offers doesnt mean they are wrong ,for example Racism. Racism on pol is often based in verifiable facts (biggest example would be cross adoption studies ,Iq tests ,crime analysis). Many things are just so frowned upon ,that you are not able to find the truth ,so even if we disagree on the worth of pol ,but we could find common ground in the need for its existence

lmao that's fucking stupid

Not an argument putin shill

so you admit to have come here from reddit?

>‘normie’ or shill simply for having an opinion that is backed by a sizeable part of the public

Isn't that what a normie is, by definition?

And, given that 99.99% of people don't have any idea of what's really happing in the world because we aren't politicians with privileged information and we're busy with our ordinary lives then the political opinion of the typical human is the product of school and media, in other words manufactured lies and indoctrination. There's no wisdom in crowds, no consilience, because their beliefs are not statistically independent, on the contrary, all comes from the same official place.

Very few people, for example, bother to read really old books and see how different things were then, or at least how different the propaganda was.

So Sup Forums may be an asylum of lunatic autists, but at least exposes you to some different points of view. Take it as the benefit of random mutations in the evolution of ideas to avoid getting trapped in some local extrema.

Censorship is one of the signs of a tyrannical government

Jews need to be brought to the mainstream

#ImWithHer
#NotMyPresident
#WeAreAllMuslim

>politifact
Literally on record as giving the same statement different factual ratings depending who said it

That's why I’d never argue for Sup Forums to be removed. It may be unpleasant having to deal with it being on this site, but it's a necessary evil. Resorting to censorship is a 100% sure-fire way of telling the whole world that you're an idiot and that you're wrong.

A lot of people on Sup Forums, but they're terrible at it.

...

But news entirely relies on ideology. What we justify as 'news' is based 100% on bias. Otherwise we'd have 24/7 news channels throwing absolutely everything at us and we would have to select what we focus on (which is nearly impossible a task both for news channels and viewers).

So this entire argument is nonsensical really in that you can't so generally apply this rule that people call news they dislike as fake news. There's a lot of actual bullshit out there that gets spewed. Just take one glance at Sup Forums for instance on a lot of fear-mongering BS that gets taken as 100% true. Just take one look at various news sources and see what they purposely misrepresent or just flat out don't talk about.

And for the most part people get upset on the conservative side, because they're low hanging fruit. They buy into BS facebook memes so damn easily. However, the other sides buy into nonsense just as easily, it's just not as overt. Instead of buying into memes or Sup Forums posts, they're disregarding entire sources for not being PC enough (as an example of what they do) which causes this intense bubble (take a look at socmedia commies and their inability to debate with anyone).

So it's a very real problem but effectively it will never be solved because humans in general are extremely malleable.

Is #WeAreAllMuslim a thing? What does that even mean?

me

>Sup Forums is the global boogeyman
nice try goldberg winestein

all of us drive trucks into crowds sometimes

Jesus, I said a lot of people on Sup Forums. Not everyone on Sup Forums. Not Sup Forums itself. No need to be triggered so hard.

although i do prefer other search engines as DDG i will play devil's advocate here and say that Google does give the most popular seaches top billing when it comes to searching for something.

We all know that feeling of killing 14 people in a big rig.

Relying on Politifact in particular is a problem though because Politifact has proven (objectively, ie rating the same statement differently because a republican said it) partisan bias.

How about talking about "socially unacceptable themes" in public? It's not illegal, you won't be arrested. If you get attacked that just proves you right.

What did he mean by this?

It would be nice if it was a plethora of independent 'fact checkers' that would also be checking each other's assessments. Cuts down on a lot of the bias.

There's just a lot of really bad misinformation out there and unfortunately due to how search engines work, you could 100% fuck with millions/billions of people by getting your misinformation into the first page of all search engines.

Apparently people are too damn gullible, nowadays.

>you'll never get rid of us, just listen and obey

giving trump a true, i mean are you crazy

I thought snopes was right-leaning? Why shouldn't I use it?

>I thought snopes was right-leaning?

>half true
>it's completely true
lmao

Kill yourself, you dumb fucking shit stain.

>Just take one look at various news sources and see what they purposely misrepresent or just flat out don't talk about.
this is the big problem, you can cherry pick facts to fit your narrative without actually saying anything false

>google search: "trump is a decent human"
>showing results for: "trump is literally hitler"

Your mom

>What is DuckDuckGo?
Yeah, it still needs to mature a bit. But, considering how far they've come, it has a lot of promise.

something that uses google search to give you results and thus will also be affected by this.

These laws precede Merkel and are pretty much the foundation of the German state. Yes they are stupid but it takes a special kind of retard to break them, so it's not like they are a big deal.

...

You idea is not inherently true: you can state facts of events that are happening, have happened, or are staged to occur without polluting them with a hidden agenda or otherwise corrupting bias. You remove speculation, period. Suddenly you have an unbiased news outlet. People need to exercise discretion and form actual individual opinions on things, the bias in the media as it stands is precisely one of the reasons that we're in the mess that we are. And both sides are equally overt in their agendas while remaining equally inconspicuous as well.
