I'm not the best student, so I've had to repeat classes, but I eventually learn, lol. This was one of the first topics I covered in college level English. We looked over a strange old satirical article that said we should eat the young, & fact checked it like this, evaluating our ability to spot miss-information. I was startled by how much of it correlated to a business advertising course I was also taking, which focuses on understanding why people are motivated to click & how their emotions can override other factors.
Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal". I know it well and teach it to my tenth grade students. Satire, verbal irony, hyperbole, sarcasm. All very relevant in the advertising world AND the political world we live in now.
For # 2 how do you tell your students to distinguish a credible source? I know sources I consider credible, but they don't have any prior knowledge and the techniques I have used in the past, well, "fake news" folks are getting trickier to the point that they look almost identical to the "real news" sites.
Hi john spencer, im from UTM which one of the top university in Malaysia. My lect asked me to watch ur video and u know what ur video is really awesome! Good job spencer, im proud of u hehe. To all my UTM friends if u read this, u know what u have to do right 🤪
You should explain “journalism vs talk show hosts or even commentators”. I can’t tell u how many ppl think Hannity is a friggen journalist when he admits he isn’t! But ppl generally don’t know why that’s an important distinction.
these2menrgannadoit Just make sure it's not some website u never heard of. Use this website to help u if it's credible or not. it's called media check fact check
these2menrgannadoit it provides, biases from both sides, conspiracy and psuedo science sources, real science news, and all with credibility levels. I recommend WSJ and Texas Tribune because they both have very little to no bias
If they get up on a stage like a actor wearing a 3000 doller suit and drives a Mercedes and has a house in the Hamptons and a vacation house in Italy then that can tell ya
How crazy it is that we live in a world where we need "media literacy"? Sad. Thank you for the video. Always worried my kid is on the wrong part of youtube ....
Lmao good luck to future/current history students who have to distinguish between fake news and real news sources. I thought primary and secondary sources were hard enough 😂
Hi John. I'm using your great video and information for my students too. Can you do one thing, though? Can you lower the volume so that your commentary is easier to focus upon? Thanks for your consideration.
Ringrazio che la mia prof mi sta facendo vedere questo video di merda dandoti visualizzazioni non me ne frega un cazzo di quello che dici anche perché non lo capisco quindi ciao
I doubt the creditably of this video, who is he to judge the way I judge information. If 99 of 100 people agree with each other but are wrong who is their left to agree with the one that is right?
The main takeaway is that you should do some research of your own before forming an opinion. In the wise words of Harlan Ellison, “You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opinion. No one is entitled to be ignorant.”
look at the context check the credibility analyze the construction corroborate information with other credible sources compare information to other credible sources

There's really only 3 c's here. Context, Credibility, Construction. The other 2 are just elaborations of credibility.
That's certainly possible.
@@spencereducation stupid
absolutely loved it dude short and to the piont
Yea, this is the video that you were looking for Wild Fred.
This comment is just for me in case I forget it.

Great work especially mentioning the bias -whole nations need this lesson...
God bless you.

brilliant! Very well made and so clear for my students and my own kids.
Glad it was helpful!
bruh people saying they're doing this for college... I'm in gr.9
The problem is "credible news sources". Who defines what is a "credible" news source?
consistently reporting factual information, and if they do report a mistake they own up to it.
The real problem is determining "credibility."

Mr. Richardson.. May I use the restroom?
May I link to your video for a grant project that I am doing for Texas A&M University, please? If so, how would you prefer it to be cited?
