Europe

Sorry for the late comment but I'm new and get to go through all the old stuff.

I fully agree and would like to add that there are also different levels of reading comprehension and dismissing video content entirely is hugely ableist because some people cant read or read properly, cant use a screen reader etc.

So there imo are a lot of different possible issues here:

• especially the german government hands out "media literacy advice" on how to spot "fake news". That happened with covid and now people might be stuck with these ideas. Of course if that is the case, the person would probably have a better time only engaging with what they can understand and not try to engage stuff without even watching the content.
• the content here (as a noob) is like waking up in the plot of the matrix. I'm cross checking stuff sometimes because for nearly 40 years I thought western media "wasnt allowed to lie". I have huge issues with my neighbors when I tell them of my own experiences with government malfeasance. They snap react with " bullshit, we have laws for that." That is the level of brainrot here.

Im any case, I'm glad I found this and that people are in fact trying to make things better. Thanks. :)
