At least 300 students have been prohibited from registering for classes at Northwestern University because they refused to watch a controversial antisemitism training video that they said was biased in favor of Israel, contained factual inaccuracies and could inflame campus tension over Gaza.
I would think people might want to think for themselves.
I would think people wouldn’t want to waste their time watching media that’s known to be propaganda. Do you go watch every single movie released in theaters, or do you pick based on what you know ahead of time? You watch Fox News all day just to make sure you’re making up your own mind?
People can stay ignorant if they want, I guess.
It’s so funny that just because I voice an opinion that people being exposed to opposing view points might not be such a bad idea that you think I’m a fox viewer maga moron? Do we on the left really need to blindly all have the same monolithic opinion on everything?
I didn’t accuse you of watching Fox News, but you clearly watch it if you don’t like it and don’t think it’s possible to form an opinion on known propaganda without watching it
I mean you did. But whatever. Yes I’ve seen Fox News because I like to see what others are seeing. I like to see other perspectives. It’s obvious within seconds when watching Fox that it’s a right wing propaganda mill, and it’s so cringy it’s hard to believe people actually watch it and take it seriously. I usually avoid video media like that altogether as I find it so cringey - it’s much more efficient to scan the web pages of the different spin sources to see what they’re doing. I don’t understand your point about not thinking it’s possible to form an opinion without it - what watching Fox?. I would think it’s quite easy to form opinions about Fox whether you watch it or not, but it’s a more informed opinion if you do. Whether that’s worth the pain in this case, is arguable.
