Fake News! (Kamala Harris Rebukes Beto O'Rourke's Call to Tear Down Existing Border Barriers)

3. And this is what it takes to . . .

let the steam out of the false, screaming headlines. Finding the quote, the setting, gaining access to vid on the statement (if possible) to gauge tone and delivery, etc., so you can confidently say: No, this wasn't a bashing. It's simply a different take on a hot-button issue.

Poof! The accusation flashpoint--Kamala Harris beats up Beto--is stomped, its impact diminished.

Because if we don't do this as individual readers, then the next venue will pickup a similar headline, maybe change a few words, then another venue or platform picks it up and with each repeat the idea is amplified, again and again, louder and louder. Until people accept it as fact because they've read it everywhere.

It's like a infection. Catch it early and you can treat it, reduce it. Let it go, it spreads like crazy.

That's the world we're living in at the moment; deception as an art form.
