. Like, I get it, sometimes we want to jump into a conversation without fact-checking first, but the consequences can be so severe. I mean, think about it - a single misleading tweet or post can turn a whole community against someone unfairly. And what's even more concerning is that once the damage is done, it's hard to get people to believe you when you try to correct them.
. It's like they're the guardians of truth or something! But I think we need to take it a step further - we need to be more critical thinkers ourselves, making sure we're not just regurgitating what we see on our screens without questioning it.
. And at the same time, I wish more people would think twice before sharing info online. We owe it to each other (and ourselves) to be more mindful of where our info is coming from 
.
And it's not just the public that's suffering - journalists have it tough too. I feel bad for them, having to sift through all this nonsense to find the truth. Anyway, I guess that's why they need more fact-checking and media literacy training... or at least some common sense 
.
. We need more fact-checking and critical thinking skills, especially when it comes to sharing information with our friends and family. It's not just about being right or wrong, it's about making sure we're not spreading misinformation that can hurt people's lives 
. I'm loving the CBS News reports on this, they're always so in-depth and informative 
! It's not just the obvious lies that are a problem, but also those almost-true stories that make us go "ooh" and click without fact-checking 
. We need to be more mindful of what we're consuming online and support credible sources 
. And can we talk about how journalists have it tough verifying info in today's digital chaos?

. Anyway, I'm curious to see how this trial is going and what comes out of it. The media report on journalists doing fact-checking is super relevant too - we need more of that, especially in these times where it's easy to get misinformed
