Summary: "Since the publication of the first edition of Good Thinking in 2012, we have become increasingly more tribal in our thinking: People have grown increasingly distrustful of reported facts that clash with their personal or political views, regardless of their veracity. We too often cavalierly dismiss such reports as "fake news" precisely because they don't jibe with our beliefs. For example, on June 26, 2019, Big League Politics1 posted an article claiming three migrants trying to enter the United States had been quarantined because they tested positive for Ebola. But government border officials had no record of this, and neither did the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. Despite this, the false report went viral on social media, and attempts to rein it in proved problematic.2 This is not an isolated case: A 2016 Pew poll found that nearly a quarter of Americans admitting to sharing made-up news stories"-- Provided by publisher.
