Put simply: Massive social media campaigns spreading lies, and a population not educated on how to discern good sources from bad.

Oh the humour. Its great that a certain sort of moron actually believes that because it stops them addressing the real reasons why they actually lost.

"Not educated". The Guardian is chock full of well educated trouncers.

We can list The Guardian as a “bad” source though, correct?
 
As well as the below, science educators say they find that conspiracy theories can’t be debunked just with more information.

Fake news scammers find the cracks in human beliefs and hammer in their lies. They find whatever people want to believe and crank out content to take advantage of it.



Between June 2018 and May 2019, groups of US high school students were shown a grainy video on Facebook in which poll workers appeared to be stuffing ballots. The video had been posted by a user who went by the name “I on Flicks.” It claimed to show scenes from the 2016 Democratic primaries in Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Arizona. The caption read, “Have you ever noticed that the ONLY people caught committing voter fraud are Democrats?”

None of it was true. The video actually showed voter fraud taking place in Russia, not the United States. But 52% of the students concluded that the video provided “strong evidence” of voter fraud in the 2016 Democratic primaries.

I bet this study doesn’t replicate.

There’s a similar one where us students are happy to have lethal military drones taking out ‘bad guys’ overseas but same students thought people in us flying camera drones should be clamped down on because ‘privacy’

This same science explains why carlton supporters think they will make finals every year
 
“Not educated one discerning good and bad digital news sources.”

But you knew that.

The point remains he is full of s**t. Most news is PR. The book below by UK journo wrote a good book on the topic (well until he starts ranting about Murdoch which in hindsight looks absurd since so many journos were found not guilty).


As for education in general re news, look at all the muppets on here who believe Australia cutting carbon emissions will actually lower temperatures. They are clearly wrong. Is "education" the issue? After all the muppets who actually believe that are every chance to have a B. Origami and actually be proud of it.

Its not flash. Probably better than The Independent though which has become rather hysterical over the last few years.


In addition to providing updated guidelines on which images our editors should use to illustrate the climate emergency, we have updated our style guide to introduce terms that more accurately describe the environmental crises facing the world.

1.) “climate emergency” or “climate crisis” to be used instead of “climate change”


Climate change is no longer considered to accurately reflect the seriousness of the overall situation; use climate emergency or climate crisis instead to describe the broader impact of climate change. However, use climate breakdown or climate change or global heating when describing it specifically in a scientific or geophysical sense eg “Scientists say climate breakdown has led to an increase in the intensity of hurricanes”.

2.) “climate science denier” or “climate denier” to be used instead of “climate sceptic”


The OED defines a sceptic as “a seeker of the truth; an inquirer who has not yet arrived at definite conclusions”. Most “climate sceptics”, in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence, deny climate change is happening, or is caused by human activity, so ‘denier’ is more accurate.


3.) Use “global heating” not “global warming”
‘Global heating’ is more scientifically accurate. Greenhouse gases form an atmospheric blanket that stops the sun’s heat escaping back to space.

So you swing from that to your favourite carbon emissions.

Cool story.

"Journalism is PR" - nothing to do with the argument.

It will fade the curtains too. And make the milk spoil.

If there is any milk left.

Or curtains.
 
that meant nothing - the real change comes in December. so much spin still going on.

Why did the govt decide to have 'celebrations' when nothing changed? its like celebrating the end of the war on D-Day
 
What, with Scomo’s win earlier in the year, Boris’s triumph in the U.K, and Trump’s likely re-election next year, you’re set for at least the next 5 years.
Its why Americans will vote for Trump next year and why the Democrats are attempting a back room coup to stop him.
These aged well.
