A more useful video would be how to unbrainwash Boomers who totally believe the real 'fake news.' But that will never exist because it is seemingly impossible (from personal experience).

It's becoming harder all the time. News sources and even so-called fact-checkers have become increasingly politicized.
Part of the problem is the "Gell-Mann Amnesia" effect described by Michael Crichton:
Quote: You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward--reversing cause and effect. I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s full of them.
In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page and forget what you know.

The right side says the left is using fake news.
The left side says the right side is using fake news.
The left hates the right.
The right hates the left.
Both sides hate the ones in the middle.

Had classes in high school and college (back during the cold war) on critical thinking processes, parsing propaganda, ads, sources, (i.e. motherhood, apple pie, right is wrong, etc.). something missing in schools today.
Wish I had kept my notes. It helps to process the news. Why I support wide open social media.

Well... the correct answer is in the picture!

It is not.
This is a bogus picture.
American gunpowder as a food product is just dried, crushed Jalapeno. Tex-Mex stuff.
Italian is mostly basil and oregano with some customization depending on region.

Not true in New Orleans. We have incorporated seasonings from all cultures, making them "American". Yes, they passed the citizenship test.

So true. New Orleans is definitely a melting pot of seasonings and is American for sure.
Been there a number of times. Yum.
