I see so many examples of this every day on social media. People share a picture, or a video about how amazing, horrible, interesting, impressive, whatever. Always taking what they see as fact and I'm sitting here thinking, do they not know about editing? How effortless it is to alter a picture of a facebook post or a sign to say whatever you want. Basic editing tricks to do just about anything in a video.
Shouldn't people's default response to things like this be skepticism and not blind trust?

If people's default response to things was skepticism and mistrust a lot of the world wouldn't be as it is.

Really my issue is people have an easier time believing someone is a stereotype even cartoonishly evil or incompetent than that someone just edited a picture.

If that were true, Fox News would've gone under a long time ago.

That's a real pity there, but lets not forget CNN, MSNBC and Al-Jazeera on that list.

I use a Magic 8-ball for keeping up with my news.
Maybe it's a Magic 8-ball. It could just be a cue-ball that's been photoshopped.

Remember when news sources did fact checking?

Me neither and I'm probably the oldest one here.
I felt like for awhile CNN at least tried. Like 10ish years ago.
