@realcaseyrollins @wjmaggos based on. Where i live I believe cnn.
Context matters.
Mass Shooters tend to lean left and be on mental health medication, which is also a lefty behavior.
So if cnn says not true, and fugar says true, I lean fugar because that's where facts point.

But I mainly share memes about the culture war. You can't meme a flood.

Furgar shares an image from a random social media account saying it’s going to flood where you live tomorrow. CNN says it isn’t. which claim would you initially think is more likely to be true?
It would 100% depend on recency. If #CNN says it isn’t going to flood but they said that a month ago, and furgar’s post was two days ago, I’d be more prone to believe furgar’s post. But, if furgar’s post was last week, and yesterday #CNN posted an article saying that #NOAA actually says it’s not going to flood, then I’d believe #CNN.
would you look further into it before sharing either of these claims?
For something like this where I don’t know much about the underlying info, I’d probably be more likely to make a post saying “I’m hearing that it’s going to flood” rather than boosting the post.
would it matter what you wanted to be true?
Objection your honor, leading 🧑🏾💼

you’re comparing apples and oranges.
The rest of your post doesn’t adequately prove this point correct.

you're comparing apples and oranges. @CaliRN619 (assuming it's a real person) is not MSNBC or CNN. those outlets often suck but you listen to them because they're proven to be more reliable than an account that doesn't use their name or face, unlike even the image on the left. we're always stuck trusting somebody in the flow of how information gets to us. to try to help not have a world of shit...we must curate, do basic checking and link to sources.

you would never accept the excuse you just made for bullshit from the M5M or left.
Why not?
If that was true I wouldn’t listen to the #MSM outlets I do like #MSNBC and #CNNInternational specifically.

@realcaseyrollins @furgar @Pantangelini
you boosted the same meme. it falls on the people sharing shit to confirm they aren't misleading people. you would never accept the excuse you just made for bullshit from the M5M or left.

I have no idea what else is true or false about it.
What if you did the bare minimum to confirm it?
I don’t understand how you guys have no problem boosting stuff that you haven’t done the bare minimum to confirm
I don’t understand how you fail to see that the post was making a general point, not serving as an authoritative source of facts. If enough of it is true that it validates the point (i.e. only one of those shooters is not a #Democrat), than the post is valid.
you guys
Who is You Guys and why wasn’t I invited

@realcaseyrollins @furgar @Pantangelini
it was the first one I looked up cause it was top on the list. and either way you spin it, it's bullshit. I have no idea what else is true or false about it. I don't understand how you guys have no problem boosting stuff that you haven't done the bare minimum to confirm, esp when you think the M5M spreading misinformation is such a problem. at least when I called out @PNS for his bs volcano CO2 meme, he admitted he doesn't care about facts.

@wjmaggos @furgar @Pantangelini If the only thing wrong about the post was one of the shooters’ political affiliations…that’s certainly a statement too.
realcaseyrollins ✝️
@wjmaggos @Pantangelini @furgar Wait wait wait the mass shooter was the #Uvalde mayor???
william.maggos
@realcaseyrollins @furgar @Pantangelini
you guys go on and on about how the crime problem in these cities is that they are run by Democrats and I'm supposed to assume that in this case you were referring to something we can't legally even know since the ballot is secret.
I feel like I'm the last person anywhere even near the left to seriously consider what folks on the more conservative instances say (when you're not obviously trolling), but I think you broke me. congratulations.
william.maggos
The first town on the list. You couldn't be bothered to check even that. The mayor of Uvalde was a Republican. You both don't give one shit about truth. Just forward on your bullshit memes. Welcome to NAS, where we claim to support deconstructing media but actually nobody gives a shit about being lied to as long as it forwards our narratives.
