Just to let you know... Conservative Outfitters is a bad website
A lot of the se website out there now are a pay per click website. Meaning, if you click on their website or the ads that are on their website, they get some money from it. We have had websites that are like that, and it is a great way to make money. However, this trend is also being abused.
Conservative Outfitters is one.
My husband worked for Champion News before Jack Roeser died. He was the editor there and he was a especially good at being a school watchdog. He made a film at a school board meeting where the faculty actually said that 3x4=11 and it would not be counted as wrong in Common Core. The video when national and was huge!
Conservative Outfitters decided to steal the video and called it their own.
First the Conservative Outfitters video.
OBAMA MATH: UNDER COMMON CORE, 3 X 4 = 11
Now the original video from Champion News.
I won't go into this anymore, but my point is, there are MANY pay per click websites out there that spread lies, steal material, and pretty much are the equivalency of The National Enquirer at the check out stands. People post these on facebook, etc, as fact.
My suggestion for you is that you do some research. Follow all the links (if they actually have them) to the source of the new story. Ask yourself, is the story like the original, or is it a hyped up headliner to get you sucked in? Is it more editorial than fact? Does the video looked spliced? Could you be getting just a small portion of the video and if used in context of the rest of it, it isn't how they made it seem? Many videos are out there in the full video if you do a google search.
These are just a few things that have helped me get the real story. But I admit, I have fallen prey to this junk too. Especially when the website duplicates a national news source like NBC.com and theirs is newsNBC.com.
This is why people struggle with knowing what is true and not true out there. I think the press needs to be held more accountable, but not sure how to do that with the government over regulating it... so here we stand.
Let me know if you have any ideas how to make people accountable for their "news".
