Reply to comment by fractiousrhubarb in On Facebook, Visual Misinfo Widespread. In the runup to the 2020 U.S. Presidential election visual misinformation was widespread across the platform, and that it was highly asymmetric across party lines, with right-leaning images five to eight times more likely to be misleading. by Wagamaga
Cannot trust any source these days because they all have their bias.
People are going to push the opinions with they believe in so it depends on your perspective also.

But you must trust the source of the image you posted, otherwise you’d not have posted it?
The “can’t trust any source” meme is actually designed to work for the right/ corporate interests. Collective actions requires trust. Anything that harms trust empowers the right.
I trust media independent media outlets like Crikey.com.au and MichaelWest.com.au
I don’t trust News Corp because it was founded by an Australian mining magnate (in 1922) specifically to make propaganda.
