[QUOTE="ChrisB2, post: 1659275, member: 39590"] Many people will tend to believe whatever they want to be true or whatever makes them feel good. Facts don't really matter, and IQ level doesn't matter. If someone really does not like the fact that Biden won the election they will be much more inclined to believe in election fraud even without proof. And for others that can't stand Trump, they will never believe in election fraud even if evidence is produced. Think of pretty much any topic, climate change, police brutality, covid, etc. people will pick the side that brings them "comfort" or reaffirms their current belief. When watching a football game and there is a play that is being reviewed by the refs, check out twitter afterward and you will find one teams fans saying it was the worst call ever and the other teams saying how it was obviously the right call. Everyone in that case is seeing the same video but many will cling to the belief their team was screwed by the refs. The media doesn't have to try and deceive people, they can just report the actual news and if it isn't what some people want to hear they will claim it is fake. I'm not saying their isn't media bias because EVERYONE of us is biased to some degree. The actual news papers and programs try to convince people they are honest and have integrity so they usually won't report something unless they can verify it. Other papers and programs are numbers driven shows that give their audiences what they want to hear. They don't have to verify, they can get a tip off you tube or face book and they will report it as fact. Most real newspapers and programs will retract stories when given more information, but the others will double down on the falsehoods. Again, that doesn't take into account writer or reporter bias. Last night I watched a video from an "unbiased journalist" that was reporting the supposed real news. I figured if she is a journalist she would have many articles on the internet, I couldn't get her name to appear anywhere except being tied to the video, I don't even know if that was her real name. To me that is a red flag, even though some or maybe all of it can be verified. Fact is the only people that know the truth are the ones playing the con. Any or all of us may be being lied to, we are all pretty much just repeating the stories we want to be true. Me, I voted for Trump and really wanted him to win, but I think he lost.
