  • I don’t think that article is correct.

    I’ve never understood subsequent realization to be integral to the dissonance itself, which already exists regardless of one’s awareness of it.

    It’s like insisting that you are not depressed unless you “realize” you’re depressed.

    unless by “realization” that article simply mean experiencing conflicting emotions, which is the cognitive dissonance itself.

    requiring “realization” of a feeling as a prerequisite to that feeling existing doesn’t check out.

    it explicitly addresses the baseless accusations of internal bias impacting ratings.

    that’s the very point of these independent studies.

    if mbfc checkers or other fact-checkers allowed their biases into their ratings, those findings would differ from other news fact-checking sources that managed to rate news sources more objectively.

    since their findings range from very similar to nearly identical to other credible news fact-checking sources and importantly there is still zero evidence of their “own bias” affecting their ratings, there’s no base for the accusations.

    just rilers rilin’.
