- Dive into the phenomenon known as circular reporting and how it contributes to the spread of false news and misinformation.
--
In previous decades, most news with global reach came from several major newspapers and networks with the resources to gather information directly. The speed with which information spreads now, however, has created the ideal conditions for something called circular reporting. Noah Tavlin sheds light on this phenomenon.

As a teenager I find it fascinating how many grown adults blindly follow big media or things they see while scrolling through fb or ig without any questioning. I always thought “how did these ppl get fooled” when looking back at history and the many instances of propaganda and lying for the personal gain of one man. I just wish ppl would get out of their social bubble and denial.
When my parents sent me a video regarding how smartphones are disastrous to your eyes and the information within it is false, but your parents would believe it otherwise because its facebook duh 🥱
Common sense is sadly Not so common .
Agreed, and cannot ignore the polar opposite of people grasping some BS somewhere else and running with it just as emotionally invested.
Both sides need to study what they speak of, to form opinions worth listening to.
It's litterally bad on both sides.

@Zain Mirza they think that its safer to risk catching the disease but they aren't considering the fact that if there were significant undisclosed side effects from vaccines they must be relatively rare and that not getting vaccinated opens one up to potential death or other lifelong issues and that its possible to spread that disease to others which could revive a near extinct virus
@Zain Mirza me driving recklessly is no big deal, since everyone else has seatbelts lol
@Zain Mirza lmao it totally is the same. If you don't vaccinate you are a potential carrier of the desease and thus a danger to everyone who cannot be vaccinated, like ill or elderly people. Not vaccinating is reckless behaviour.

Parents are some of the worst about this. And it's sad, because their intentions are always for the better. But they get lied to by the media they're supposed to trust, and that translates to very real risks for themselves and their families, as well as those around them.
Critical thinking and ways of verifying information absolutely *should* be taught in schools - alongside practical law (as a year-long class, with government classes also year-long), psychology, some of the basics of civil engineering (tie it in with mathematics - it's much more practical that way), biology/health (tie the two together please), teen living, etc.
The lack of one or all of these things contributes heavily to people not knowing much of anything about how the world around them works. And this is easily one of the things I hated most about school, was its absolute lack of practicality.

“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face-for ever.”
― George Orwell, 1984
False news spreads whenever the original source of the "news" is less concerned with the actual truth of the situation and more concerned with an agenda. It then spreads when the people hearing it don't bother to question if the information they get is factual, which is easier when it already somewhat reinforces their own ideas.
It's very difficult for someone to put aside their own personal filter and take themselves out of the story, especially since journalism has moved away from doing so. Thus it's nearly impossible to get good information anymore. You can't get it from corporate news, Facebook, any news outlet on the internet, or anywhere on CZcams. Instead of simply reporting events they all (pretty much admittedly) have a left/right, racial, political, gender, or religious bias. Even if just facts are presented, due to the complex nature of our world, what facts are chosen to be presented will have an effect on the recipient.

The quickest way false news spreads is by journalists who take a person's word for the truth and go with a story without bothering to do any further investigation, or without getting all sides of the story. Most journalists have gotten entirely too lazy lately.
thats some you are talking about. real journalists do their research beforehands from varies sources before writing a piece, they go through facts check as well.
A really good video. Brief, to the point. How I could contact you concerning your video?

There is a paradox where someone said something as a lie, but also told the truth
This is why Encyclopedia Brittanica is so important.
Now what we need is is a little (a lot) more truth in our thoughts.
that's some thing I want more people to hear. I have been looking at a lot of news reports and misinformation comes from BOTH Liberals and Conservatives . There is a lot out there that is highly subspinous or easy to prove wrong. But people hear a story call it truth and just refuse to hear any farther stories.
The whole video makes a point for centralization.
Thinking that a small group with centralized power have YOUR best interest at heart is not misinformation. It's borderline craziness

So proud of TedEd for finding a great way to educate kids on this issue... so disappointed in the modern news industry for making this something that kids have to worry about
I'm disappointed in TedEd for ironically committing the same journalistic error that they are accusing others of doing. Where are his citations for the study he claims was debunked or any of the studies that supposedly debunked it? As far as I know, Andrew Wakefield's study never actually claimed that vaccines caused autism. He was studying a link between the MMR and digestive disorders, and happened to find a correlation with autism. I'd love to read the actual study but no one ever cites it when making these claims. That's poor journalism and circular reporting at it's finest.
@@Glumphett you can search for it dear. there are like tons of them. you really need to point this out just to criticize their works even tho it was accurate?
@@Glumphett In 1998, Andrew Wakefield and 12 of his colleagues[1] published a case series in the Lancet, which suggested that the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine may predispose to behavioral regression and pervasive developmental disorder in children. Despite the small sample size (n=12), the uncontrolled design, and the speculative nature of the conclusions, the paper received wide publicity, and MMR vaccination rates began to drop because parents were concerned about the risk of autism after vaccination.[2]
Almost immediately afterward, epidemiological studies were conducted and published, refuting the posited link between MMR vaccination and autism.[3,4] The logic that the MMR vaccine may trigger autism was also questioned because a temporal link between the two is almost predestined: both events, by design (MMR vaccine) or definition (autism), occur in early childhood.
The next episode in the saga was a short retraction of the interpretation of the original data by 10 of the 12 co-authors of the paper. According to the retraction, “no causal link was established between MMR vaccine and autism as the data were insufficient”.[5] This was accompanied by an admission by the Lancet that Wakefield et al.[1] had failed to disclose financial interests (e.g., Wakefield had been funded by lawyers who had been engaged by parents in lawsuits against vaccine-producing companies). However, the Lancet exonerated Wakefield and his colleagues from charges of ethical violations and scientific misconduct.[6]
The Lancet completely retracted the Wakefield et al.[1] paper in February 2010, admitting that several elements in the paper were incorrect, contrary to the findings of the earlier investigation.[7] Wakefield et al.[1] were held guilty of ethical violations (they had conducted invasive investigations on the children without obtaining the necessary ethical clearances) and scientific misrepresentation (they reported that their sampling was consecutive when, in fact, it was selective). This retraction was published as a small, anonymous paragraph in the journal, on behalf of the editors.[8]
The final episode in the saga is the revelation that Wakefield et al.[1] were guilty of deliberate fraud (they picked and chose data that suited their case; they falsified facts).[9] The British Medical Journal has published a series of articles on the exposure of the fraud, which appears to have taken place for financial gain.[10-13] It is a matter of concern that the exposé was a result of journalistic investigation, rather than academic vigilance followed by the institution of corrective measures. Readers may be interested to learn that the journalist on the Wakefield case, Brian Deer, had earlier reported on the false implication of thiomersal (in vaccines) in the etiology of autism.[14] However, Deer had not played an investigative role in that report.[14]
Scientists and organizations across the world spent a great deal of time and money refuting the results of a minor paper in the Lancet and exposing the scientific fraud that formed the basis of the paper. Appallingly, parents across the world did not vaccinate their children out of fear of the risk of autism, thereby exposing their children to the risks of disease and the well-documented complications related thereto. Measles outbreaks in the UK in 2008 and 2009 as well as pockets of measles in the USA and Canada were attributed to the nonvaccination of children.[7] The Wakefield fraud is likely to go down as one of the most serious frauds in medical history.[9]
this was published on ncbi's site (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
here's where you can read the whole article: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3136032/
@@Glumphett I'm also disappointed because of people like you who love to find every hole just to criticize people who are trying to make this world a better place.
@@Glumphett In case you don't want to read the article because it's too long, I'll simplify it. Andrew Wakefield's study is a fraud. Because of his "publications", parents were scared to vaccinate their kids. And many kids were infected when they weren't supposed to be. All because of his "finding". By the way, did you know that Andrew Wakefield is an anti-vaccine activist? So can you say that his study is not biased?
