Spend Time for a Reality Check

Do you devote some time to checking the reality of the news?

The news headlines are often crowded with futuristic news about the modern world. Many kinds of news propagate quickly among tech-savvy people.

As responsible dwellers of the planet earth, it is our duty to carry out a reality check on whatever we read and listen to in the news headlines.

Most of us tend to believe the mainstream news media. Many of us can never suspect reputed newspapers. They often consider the news authentic and believe in their propaganda.


Mainstream news media regularly publish sponsored and fake news

We often forget that the news media make news by taking sponsorship payments from different corporates, governments, and political parties. The news portals have the power to spread narratives by posting fake news.

Just today, I read a Tweet from Odysee that Reuters published news about alternative video platforms, where the data reported about Odysee are false!

We all know that Odysee has been facing legal suits by the US government's regulatory body Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for trivial reasons.

Is Reuters trying to please the government by publishing false data about Odysee?

There are many such things that we need to carry out a reality check

Don't believe everything that comes in the news, editorials, and commentaries of mainstream news media. Spend some time to run a reality check by yourself, or at least from a reliable source and a trustworthy friend.

As I have quoted a Tweet in the earlier section, there is no hope of trusting the shared news on social media! I have read the alleged news by Reuters, and have verified facts from the official Odysee and LBRY sites.

We can take plenty of examples where the users must verify the facts themselves before trusting the news or the services of certain corporates and commercial applications.


People claim it is an end of onsite office work

People claim that offline office work will be obsolete in the future. The entire world tested online office work from home or work from anywhere during the forced lockdowns of the so-called COVID-19 pandemic.

Onsite work is very much required in a variety of fields. The manufacturing world suffered during the lockdowns which are now recovering slowly. Onsite work is also required in many cases, such as manufacturing industry.

Only certain particular work may be done via the Internet remotely, such as computer programming, electronic publishing, and a limited type of other jobs.


The Crypto community may say fiat is an enemy

Fiat currencies are serving the entire globe for many years. The functioning of the banking sector has received a facelift through electronic banking and online financial transactions.

It is true that centralized fiat banking systems can track users' banking transactions and histories because fiat currencies and fiat banks that are centralized. Fiat currencies are still the main financial instrument of the world.

With mass adoption and superior technological innovation, cryptocurrencies seem to be a strong contender as people's financial instruments. But, fiat currencies are not enemies of global citizens.


Mainstream tech world predicts future to be password-less

The mainstream world is projecting text passwords as a soon-to-be-extinct authentication factor. Many of the big tech corporates promote "password-less" as the future of authentication.

The reality is that the entire financial, banking, and government administrative systems use text passwords/PINs as the default authentication factor.

Killing text passwords is the agenda of many commercial authentication software service providers. But, the reality is that all global authentication systems heavily depend on text passwords/PINs.


Closing for a new future

  • There are so many advancements in the modern world. Technological progress and new developments predict an entirely new way of dealing with authentication and banking.

  • Similar new developments take place in all walks of life, which appear in the mainstream news, and people come forward to adopt them.

People must go for a reality check before believing and adopting it in their lives.

That news aspect, I'm not surprised, really. We have it here too. We have those who sponsor fake narratives just to push an agenda and it's sad they always use a well known outlets that would make it believable to others. I'm not sorry about it but I don't read whatever come out of news outlets and when I do by mistake, then I leave my mind open because not everything appears as they paint things.

I agree with your viewpoints. Even if we temporarily tend to believe some of the news, there are times when we can verify the facts and tell acquainted people about it. We should try to propagate the evidence-based truth to the community.

This is really sucking thing people spread fake news and our media also involved in spreading rumors. We should be able to critically make analysis of things first to check the probability of reality in the news.

Indeed, verifying the authenticity of news items is not an easy task. That is how big news media can spread false narratives as news.

This reality check on latest developments gives us two benifits, one to know the modern technologies & streams, second to identify the real one and publicity Stunts.

When news breaks in the headlines, in the first instance, we are surprised. As days pass, we start believing. That's how fake news propagates as a true story and has deep-rooted inside the people's minds for years.

The only solution is to fact-check all news from personally acquainted sources from the places of the news.

Yes, we often believe what we see in the news headlines because it is difficult to know which media are saying the truth. The ruling political parties sponsor big media houses to spread what they want to spread!

Indeed so why do we worry about such a thing, which can be wrong/false? Good day my friend.

The media doesn't always give us the right news. Presenting the news as if the government is talking about the reputation of the government and criticizing the opposition parties more.

We must re-check alternative sources to verify mainstream headlines.
