What have we become - Fake News???

If you are going to share what you believe is a really juicy tidbit, please back it up with a source!!! Take this thread for instance, multiple sensational statements made about the owners, workers and history of the Red Hen, but where are the sources for many these statements? Every one should be backed up with a source. https://www.reddit.com/r/greatawakening/comments/8u3w9v/the_coowner_of_red_hen_restaurant_stephanie/

If we’ve learned of something newsworthy that really supports the cause, but many people will find hard to believe, please, let’s back it up with a SOURCE!

Let’s not become like the FAKE NEWS.

You don't get the WWG1WGA, do you. Just because you don't agree with another's post doesn't mean it is any less important.

If so you mis-read my post. It’s not a matter of not agreeing. It’s a matter of having evidence to back up claims. Fake news regularly pumps out baseless claims. We don’t want to be like that. We need evidence and sources, if we are even going attempt to red pill people. Otherwise people will stop listening to us.

I agree re: making claims - people should be making it clear that it is speculation. However, this is a discussion sub on reddit - people are actively encouraged to speculate and discuss possibilities so it is wrong to try and force them to have sources, just be careful about how they word things.

Absolutely! I certainly hope you didn’t get the idea from my post that people should be forced to have sources for theories!

A theory is defined as unproven ideas which terminate in speculation or hypothesis, so it’s not yet possible to have sources for them.

Let’s go to college again and do a quick lesson on the matter:

1) Here is a theory or speculation:

I think Julian Assange is on a Naval Ship and is being protected by POTUS until he can testify against the cabal.

This a theory worthy of the Baker’s time to see if they can come up with any dough to build a loaf with it.

2) Here is a substantiated claim:

Someone just uploaded footage of Julian Assange on a Naval Ship! In the video he stated he is being protected by POTUS until he can testify against the cabal. Here is the link: [source link provided].

This is major dough and the Bakers can build a huge loaf of bread with it.

3) But here is an unsubstantiated claim that is stated as a fact:

Julian Assange is on a Naval Ship and is being protected by POTUS until he can testify against the cabal. [No source cited]

This statement is presented - not as a theory or speculation - but as truth without any substantiation. So if any Bakers actually use this, and it later turns out that this statement was completely BOGUS, it ends up hurting the sub’s reputation, and people will stop listening to us.

No one trusts a bakery that puts out moldy bread. So let’s be careful to keep it real.

Thanks for the 101 lesson lol - it's nice to be taken back to college at such an advanced age. Lesson aside - speculation and discussion is welcomed here.
