Christiane Amanpour : How to seek truth in the era of fake news (transcript)
Summary
After all, are the problems solved by love?
Christiane Amanpour is known for TV news legend and uncompromising approach to reporting and interviewing.
She tells us that we have to be really careful where we get our information from. We have to take responsibility for what we read, listen to, watch and we have to make sure what the trust is. Now, in the world, many people are going to be wandering along to a potential catastrophe.
People are depending on the internet too much and they are relieved because there is the internet. They believe that its promise is to exponentially explode our access to more democracy, more information, less bias, more varied information.
However, in fact, the opposite has happened.
The most shocking thing is that when you're neutral, you are an accomplice. We often say that we must be more objective.
However, she tells us that the objective means giving all sides an equal hearing and talking all sides but not treating all sides equally.
It is not creating a forced moral equivalence or a factual equivalence. There is a truth in there.
Probably, I think that our minds will change the truth to fake(bad) news.
It means that if the TV says a true event, you add your thought with it and it will be spreading. Bad news has more ripple effect than true (good) news.
