#PleaGetGoWokeGoBroke #PhenomnPropaganda In this case, the search engine #BrandTechDuckDuckGo is seen to have succumbed to the same impulses of #BrandTechGoogle i.e. to present weighted search returns.
Supplementary this perspective is discussed by #IRLScholarFrancescaTripodi in terms of the practice of #EpistemologyAmateurExegeteScripturalInference: "I argue that practices learned in Bible study are applied to media interpretation. The conservatives I observed all hold the belief that certain fundamental truths exist, and they critically interrogate media messages in the same way they approach the Bible, focusing on specific passages and comparing what they read, see, and hear to their lived experiences. I term this media interrogation process scriptural inference, whereby audiences apply the technique of closely reading 'the Word' to other documents. I argue that these practices are a style of media literacy, whereby those who believe in the truth of the Bible approach secular political documents (e.g., a transcript of the president's speech or a copy of the Constitution) with the same interpretative scrutiny. Through this practice of unpacking texts, inconsistencies between an interpretation of original documents and the stories produced by MSNBC, CNN, Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and The Washington Post are easy to find. Such findings further support their widely shared belief that mainstream media cannot be trusted" (p.6). #PhenomnAlgorithm #ReasoningFallacyBiasCognitiveConfirmation #EpistemologyAmateurExegeteGooglingStuffAsResearch #BeliefTheismChristianityBible #NarrativeTruthImmutableUniversalIncontrovertibleAbsolute #BeliefTheismChristianityBibleScripture #TheoryConstitutionalLawOriginalism #NMUSMSNBC #NMUSCNN #NMUSFOXFNC #NewspaperUSBrdshtTheWallStreetJournal #NewspaperUSBrdshtNewYorkTimes #NewspaperUSBrdshtTheWashingtonPost #WebsitePragerU #IRLCommentatorDaveRubin #BrandTheDailyWire
