Thanks! What an incredibly shit survey. They’re asking me to judge based on headline alone without any further content. It entirely misses the point of how to judge the truthfulness of the headline - by reading further information!!!
I did find that the fake article titles were often too “on the nose” to be believable, so I guess that’s one level of filtering. But you are right, if you can’t explore the article and its sources, you are just guessing whether it is true based on whether it sounds or feels true.
I have another issue with the fact that a headline can be a “real” news headline, from a source that may have a veneer of reputability, but could still very much be full of bias. Is it “fake news” if the article exists and technically contains some verifiable facts, but is otherwise full of propaganda? It gets blurry.
I think thasa the point though because people often only read the headline and skip the rest when it comes to reading the news.
Or worse(?), anything but the headline is paywalled
19/20, not bad.
I recognised all the fake news, and incorrectly perceived one real news headline as fake.
Did you verify their statements that the true or false articles were in fact true or false?
Oh. My. God.
HOW COULD I HAVE BEEN SO BLIND
My mind… Once a bastion of certainty and confidence, reduced to descolace and shambles in an instance. A matrix of cognitive dissonance and fallacious error pervades the essence of my soul; my reality - abstract as a withering toad.
I made a burner email one. Worth it. :)
