Fake news is a new name for an age old problem: misinformation. I discuss fascinating research from Cambridge’s Dr Jon Roozenbeek and Prof Sander van der Linden, who have developed a video game vaccination inspired by inoculation theory.

I hope you ask Dr Ron Jarzombek about his sick career as a guitarist in the interview tomorrow! 😛
THIS VIDEO IN ITSELF IS MISINFORMATION. This is a strawman, a pysop if you will to distract you from ACTUAL criticism of the deeply correct Democrat News machine.
It's a stupid trick. They talk about 5G towers to prime you for the idea that Republicans are mouth breathing morons, and that's why we need to ban Donald Trump, because Facebook needs to "protect democracy".
As if it were difficult to spot misinformation. It's all bullshit. There. See how easy it was?
Wow. Your "game" is embarassingly amateurish. At best it's a multimedia presentation. Did you guys make it just so you could say that fake news is addictive? I'm failing to see the point of your game. Did you do it as a strawman of actually interesting political satire?
