Social Media : True vs Fake
The Orville S3E4
Chancellor Korin came under attack by his people who sees him as a traitor that “sells” his country and people to the foreign Union for his own benefits while populist figure Telaya voices the displeasures and discontents of her people who feels that Korin is prioritising the distant planets over his own.
Several videos have gone viral dividing the planet into two which depicts Korin as a ruthless leader who is willing to oppress his own people to please the Union and another which depicts Telaya as a radical extremist who wants to wage war on the Union.
When in reality, Korin only wants to secure peace and security against a common enemy, the Kaylons and Telaya only wants to remain neutral as an independent nation that does not follow the will of others like the Union and get dragged into their wars with others.
With advanced technology of social media and video editing tools, it is easy to manipulate real events into something different entirely. Problem is knowing which is true and which is fake. Mainstream media tells you one thing and social media tells you other thing.
Mainstream media share videos for their own political agendas and social media share videos for likes.
So which source can you trust?
