The Facts about Fact Checking: Crash Course Navigating Digital Information #2

One of my worst mistakes is only fact checking things that don't align with my current assumptions.

I read the fault in our stars and it did nothing for my acne.

f greene i really appreciate the work you’ve done over the years and i’m happy to know your still on the air

Great video! but...
Who fact checked this script?
No fact checker was credited.

in the 20th century it was called loyalty testing.

...And this is before Chat GPT...

I am definitely not a young person, but I like your videos (also your books!)

May I ask How You edit your videos? What software do you use?

One of the things I was told in University was to trust government sources over others. I find this ridiculous. I was home schooled, which means I didn't grow up solely within a government sponsored curriculum. I notice when they have a clear agenda for teaching something. Why do the schools in my province spend so much time paying lip service to residential schools but say nothing about current issues at all? Like the fact that Reserve schools are being forced to teach the white curriculum using white methods under threat of having their funding cut (which I learned from a course on Indigenous issues in Canada, discussed at an indigenous summit 1996 and still current). I'm going to say this once: Governments have propaganda, they have agendas, and they have lobbyists who pay for misinformation. This is a universal problem, and not just something that happens in someone else's country.

"Oh God, time has come for me... Time for a midlife crisis!"

With all due respect, I thought your video was misleading. You explicitly claim that the American College of Physicians (ACP), and by extension, the Annals of Internal Medicine, are not reliable sources since they conflict with the current LBGT community's political and worldviews since they have split from the AAP. Mind you, the Annals of Internal Medicine is one of the most influential medical journals worldwide.

I recently read The Fault In Our Stars, I loved it, and it did clear up my skin and improve my wardrobe. I give it five turtles.

An entity can call itself a fact checking resource, but that does not make it true. Who fact checks the fact checkers?

Bot

I named my dog Steve 😆

Do fact checkers ever fact check newspapers?
I wonder why?

Yikes...you are aging like milk my dude.

Please translate to Indonesian

I don't need a fact checker to tell me the team is actually called Manchester United

I think that the more crappy a site looks the better the chances of being an official site.

In essence:
Straw-men always lie about their motivations.

"MediaWise is supported by Google." This is reason enough to NOT believe or trust anything you say.

Im watching this cuz my brother forced me to watch ! Im bored

Check at least 3 different sources to make sure it's true, that's it

R

I automatically knew which one to trust more just by the name the word college doesn’t have much value in its title

I love your videos. But I can not share them, because of the lack of subtitules in spanish. Will you considered adding them?

Shag. Haha. Shag.

Do "trusted news organizations" even exist anymore?

You seem out of focus.

The description has a mistake. "We'll also talk about the difference between skepticism and cynicism, and".

Thank you, John Green! My teachers in school cared less about my self-development than you.

Who’s still following in 2020!?

suggested us politifacts coz it's from poynter institute?😏

Facts are like statistics.

Who checks the fact checkers, dearie?

IMPORTANT: so-called Fact Checkers are NORMALLY falsifying information. Just look up "fact checkers" videos to see the methods they use to lie on a regular basis. Without mentioning this, one may get the false impression that it's a good idea to use fact checkers.

I did a fack-check on Obama's speech in Belgium and it was is fake, in reality, is not because the same speech you find it under Obama White house!

Crash Course is a perfect proof of internet value! And I'm NOT sucking up.

I really enjoy fact checking. It feels like a puzzle. And i dont bother sharing my finds, people will believe what they want. Which brings me to the hardest part of fact checking, asking yourself if youre being bias in your fact checking. Its difficult to understand something properly if your interpretations are off.

Kind of disagree with finding trusted news sources, every news source has a bias and some are just better funded to get more stories than others. It important to keep that bias in your mind when reviewing them

There is one big problem, Google itself now filters search results, it is proven that it has ideological bias in what information gets in the search results, so it's one HUGE Red Flag that invalidates a lot in the video since you use Google to research validity of other information.

Happy birthday!! It's the 24th, Green!
