realcaseyrollins ✝️Furgar shares an image from a random social media account saying it’s going to flood where you live tomorrow. CNN says it isn’t. which claim would you initially think is more likely to be true?
It would 100% depend on recency. If #CNN says it isn’t going to flood but they said that a month ago, and furgar’s post was two days ago, I’d be more prone to believe furgar’s post. But, if furgar’s post was last week, and yesterday #CNN posted an article saying that #NOAA actually says it’s not going to flood, then I’d believe #CNN.
would you look further into it before sharing either of these claims?
For something like this where I don’t know much about the underlying info, I’d probably be more likely to make a post saying “I’m hearing that it’s going to flood” rather than boosting the post.
would it matter what you wanted to be true?
