This meme humorously describes todays media since people often just impulsivity share information that they see on social media. People rarely use their media literacy principles like fact checking before sharing which causes misinformation to spread quickly.
This meme is relatable because when I'm scrolling through social media, I usually see people agreeing and using false information for their arguments without fact checking and doing research on the topics themselves.
I agree with this meme, I feel like a lot of teenagers do this. They'd rather listen to what a famous influencer (Adin Ross for example) would say about the presidential debate rather than a more credible source.
Its quite interesting how many teens these days would often be distracted by large influencers instead of creating their own thoughts, which in large part can be seen as a part of media literacy.
very true, Its hard to figure out what news to trust these days especially when its on media platforms thats why its important to understand misinformation and disinformation
Completely true!! Social media it is a platform where you find yourself with so much misinformation. That’s why we need to look information of everything we see in social media to check and verify if that information it’s true.
This is such a great analogy ! It kind of relates to my meme, filter bubbles and fake news is taking over verified media.
I definitely agree with you on how this relates to media because many people follow many facts that are not even accurate and put other people down and make them look bad, for example cancel culture and how it can ruin peoples lives and sometimes the facts are not even correct.
Sadly, in the world of dominating social media, more and more people get trapped in the "I have seen it online - it must be true" mentality. Never ending advertising by so-called influencers creates the world so appealing, yet the one that doesn't exist. We have to stay mindful internet users.
