Efforts to mislead voters are pervasive this year. These tips can help you spot them: 🤔 Exercise skepticism 📱Understand the misinformation landscape 🕵 Investigate what you're seeing 🔎 Pay extra attention to emotionally charged, divisive topics

Take in any new information, whether it's the news or on social media or from a buddy at happy hour, with a bit of doubt. Expect the source to prove their work and show how they came to their conclusion. And try to compare information from a number of different outlets, even if you have a favorite.Misinformation, as a concept, isn't new. But the social media platforms for engaging with it are constantly changing and increasing their influence in the media world.

Misinformation is most effective on hot-button issues and immediate news. Ask yourself: Is this a complicated subject, something that's hitting an emotional trigger? Or is it a breaking news story where the facts aren't yet able to be assembled? If the answer is yes, then you need to be ultra-skeptical.

NPR is the chronic 'misinformation'. Admit it fake news liars.

Anyways none of you tv brainwashed libs have a clue about JoeBiden corruption. So typical. The democratic phoney 'news', aka democrat operatives will never inform the lost about actual 'news' Check it out Bobulinski just exposed Biden corruption. YET NPR nothing, fake news

Now fake news NPR is talking about starwars. Holykrist you talk about fake news propaganda. Yes NPR is F- 'reporting '. The NPR Fake news is to just keep libs that much more distorted/oblivious from reality. Libs, listen, NPR fake news won't tell you any political truth. Fake.

Do you think because your influence is by omission that you are any less culpable Oh no. You are just as responsible. Journalism is just about dead. All activists now

Here are the top 5 ways voters are being misled this election season: 1)NPR 2)CNN 3)ABC 4)NBC 5)CBS

Pot calling kettle black

BidenHarris2020Landslide Biden BidenHarris2020

We have sites posing as legit news organizations that have a right wing bias

turn off media

How to spot Communism ☝️

Still nothing happening with Hunter Biden huh. I am investigating the big guy

Smart folks aren't influenced by disinformation.

A bit of introspection required here.

-Understand that and ALL MSM outlets are propaganda.

This qualifies as Gaslighting

We have been lied to for so long by FakeNewsMedia. ALL OF US. Internet changed that by allowing us to fact check the media ourselves. Its the redpill. 1&4 tie together: FIND' 1st source'material. Do not believe news until you hear or see for yourself what actually happened.

NPR, let's work on these numbers...

Boo to you not covering Biden emails story. Lost me as a supporter, unsubscribing.

Real America does not buy your bullshit.

FAKE NEWS NPR - NATIONAL PROPAGANDA RADIO I'm listening to it right now and dude (fake 'journalist') is talking to a 'man' (apparently a 'writer'). He said that he and his husband have kids? How did these dudes have kids? Emaculate conception? Strange how npr spreads hate lies.

That's hilarious especially since you report all the Russiagate disinformation coming from the intelligence community.

Nice article but you seem to have no idea what is going on in the right wing echo chamber. Critical thinking no longer exists

Dear NPR, take your own advice. You kill the Hunter Biden story, but report on other unvalidated garbage. I will not use you as a news source from now on, as you are Left biased. I expected more from 'public' radio.

It’s actually easy to spot misinformation. Compare what you’re reading with legitimate news sources, and yes, those do include left leaning publications like CNN and the NYT, and right leaning ones like Fox. If you don’t see it there, it’s probably fake.

Ignore the msm. FakeNews

NPR is TRASH, a far cry from what they were 10 years ago

Or you could just not drink the Koolaid.

Efforts to mislead voters about the top of the Democrat ticket are lead by npr CBSNews MSNBC CNN

Tip number one! Don't take anything you hear from NPR as factual!

I have used this information to identify NPR as fake news - thanks.

If you fail to report on the ongoing Biden scandal you have no credibility. DefundNPR

I am new... please follow me

If you listen to NPR you are definatly listening to race/ identity based misinformation.

Wife waiting in line in McLean VA to in-person vote, MAGA poll watcher comes up to black man next in line and says you don’t have wait you can vote by mail, loud argument about targeting rightfully ensues.

NPR has been misleading for years!

If you are worried about misinformation, one very effective way to avoid it is to never turn on NPR (National Propaganda Radio).

Kavanaugh accusations daily on msm. Biden laptop? What’s that?

'Pay extra attention to emotionally charged, divisive topics' So true. Real and honest information is generally presented in a calm and deliberate way, without hyperbole or vehement extremes.

Sweet lady Bitcoin! She is kill-ing-it! I love the Bitcoin supporters too. 'Sophisticated intellectuals' and 'Futurists' were two of my favorite descriptions! Let's go BITCOIN! 🔥

When you passed on the Biden scandal you lost all credibility...too many red flags there to not at least investigate.

Disgusting seeing conservatives attack public broadcasting, but they’ve been staunch critics of all public institutions for a long time. “Defund everything except guns!” And did they consider any of the media literacy tips before making some snide “lol bias” quip? Nope.

Understand bias includes burying stories or promoting them day after day. A common tactic by NPR etc.

NPR is too far left and becoming like CNN DefundNPR

If it is a tweet by “NPR” or “CNN”, there is a higher than normal probability that it is fake news.

CANNOT LOVE THIS ANY MORE!!!!!!SHOUTITFROMTHEROOF WordsOfWisdom truth

They’ve got easy targets. Humans are the most gullible of creatures.

All done by Trump himself.

🤷‍♂️Be just as skeptical of NPR as you are of any other source.

Said the pot to the kettle. is also guilty of adding to this landscape in the form of sensationalism. Just saying...

That's rich coming from the people who refuse to report on the Biden family allegations

-💰 DefundNPR

Careful.... you're going to put yourself out of business with these tips.

1. NPR is the public relations wing of the Democratic Party so ignore everything they say.

Oh your hysterical aren’t you the people that said the Biden’s story isn’t worth covering? Because you don’t want to waste your time on things that aren’t true? I’ve got a little news for you! America is watching!! We are not as stupid as you think us deplorables are 😉🇺🇸

🤔

Lets start with NPR Being an arm to the LEFT.....

If only there were an recent example of misinformation that you could debunk! That would help me spot fake news when I see it.

irony. 🤣🤣🤣

“Ignore anything that is damaging to Joe Biden no matter how awful it is”

This is definitely not the way. Fake news takes all these things into consideration. You just have to be real. Even if it hurts! No matter qho you think you are, you too could be wrong!

If it is quickly censored it probably has meaning
