How to find Objective News - Objectivum Docs

How can we find unbiased, objective, and accurate news sources in today's world which is filled with a lot of false news? Well, it is not as hard as you think. I share my personal methods for doing this.

Opening Script:
In today’s world, there is a growing amount of fake and biased news that is rapidly spreading through social media. AI and automation have made this something that can now be weaponized. It is now more important than ever to be able to sift through this information to get to the truth. While there is no way to perfect this, I am going to outline what I think is the best way to do this.

Before I do that though, I want to really specify the problem and extent of fake news and why it very easily could get worse going forward. MIT Sloan professor Sinan Aral did an in-depth study of this phenomenon and came to some very interesting conclusions.

OUTLINE
TALK ABOUT THE PREVALENCE OF FAKE NEWS FIRST, AND HOW IT SPREADS FASTER THAN TRUE NEWS
LOGITUDINAL STUDY OF FAKE NEWS ONLINE
https://news.mit.edu/2018/study-twitter-false-news-travels-faster-true-stories-0308

STUDIED SPREAD OF FALSE NEWS TO TRUE NEWS
FALSE NEWS DIFFUSES FASTER, DEEPER, AND MORE BROADLY THAN ANY OTHER FALSE NEWS TYPE
WHY?
LESS FOLLOWERS USUALLY, SO USUALLY NOT THAT
LESS ACTIVE
LESS OFTEN VERIFIED
SHORT TIME ON TWITTER
FALSE NEWS 70% MORE LIKELY TO BE RETWEETED
NOVELTY HYPOTHESIS
HUMAN ATTENTION IS DRAWN TOWARDS NOVELTY
WE LIKE TO SHARE NOVEL INFORMATION
NEW AND SURPRISING MORE COMMON IN THE REPLIES TO THESE TWEETS, MEANING IT IS MORE NEW AND HUMANS ARE MORE INTERESTED IN NEW THINGS AND MORE LIKELY TO SHARE THEM
BOTS SPREAD BOTH GOOD AND BAD NEWS EQUALLY THE SAME SPEED

GOING TO GET WORSE
SYNTHETIC MEDIA
DEEP FAKES, ETC.
GENERATIVE ADVERSARIAL NETWORKS
AI DESIGNED TO BE EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE AT FAKING US
DEMOCRATIZED AIS LIKE TENSORFLOW
SHOW A DEEP FAKE VIDEO

HOW CAN WE COMBAT THIS? #1 OUTLET BIAS, STICK TO GOOD OUTLETS ONLY
WATCHING “BOTH SIDES” AND THEN MAKING UP YOUR MIND IS A BAD IDEA
BOTH SIDES COULD BE WRONG
PERCENT OF TIME CNN, FOX, NBC GOT THINGS WRONG

AD FONTES BETTER
IF PEOPLE JUST STOPPED WATCHING THE BIASES RESOURCES ALL TOGETHER, THE AMOUNT OF FAKE NEWS CIRCULATING WOULD PLUMMET, IMO. BUT PEOPLE ARE NOT LIKELY TO DO THAT BECAUSE THE BIASES SOURCES ALL PLAY ON THE WEAKNESSES OF HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY TO BEING ATTRACTED TO NEGATIVE, SENSATIONALIST, REPORTING
