Comments by "DeoMachina" (@DeoMachina) on "Fake News Consumers - Computerphile" video.

  1. In this objective, unbiased video, Dr Moran explains the nuances of news consumption habits, and how things like satire can easily be mistaken for real news reports. He also discusses ways of counteracting this with computers. He raises questions such as "how do we know what isn't fake news" and "can our own biases effect this effort?" Nobody spamming the dislike button knows this though, they just read the title and felt personally attacked. Who knows why? Do they just deny the concept itself?

  2. He even questioned why he trusted the BBC, on camera. He said nothing about nationalism. Who are you to dictate what this channel can show...when you refuse to watch the videos anyway?

  3. You didn't watch the video, there is no leftist content in this video. Its a British channel ffs why would it even be leftist?

  4. Stating that Trump has done something ridiculous isn't a political statement. He has a habit of doing strange, ridiculous things. Pulling the arms of world leaders for example. It's not political to recognise this as ridiculous, its not a criticism of his policies or anything. People on all sides agree.

  5. Anything that isn't programming is political? Really?

  6. Biased news doesn't stop being real just because it's biased lad

  8. >leftist In the UK? Sure mate, the UK is renowned for being leftist, its not like the government is wholly staffed by conservatives or anything, nope. It's not like the UK has a long track record of taking conservative stances on everything, no sir.

  9. Nationalism has no correlation with intelligence? Sure, that's why NF/UKIP/BF/BNP are all full of intelligent, eloquent members right?

  11. "Trump does something ridiculous" isn't necessarily anti-Trump, even the Vice President has acknowledged that some of his actions have been bizarre and wrong. Doesn't matter if you're for or against Trump, you must agree that he's done some strange, sometimes inexplicable things. Stating this publicly doesn't have any bearing on your agreement with his policies. Come on, the man has been infamous for decades, he's just one of those unique personalities and it attracts mockery. That's apolitical. This channel isn't paid for by the BBC, incidentally. Don't know why you'd assume otherwise.

  18. If it was true, it wouldn't be fake news.
