Amazing Polly -- Banned From YouTube -- Investigates How "Skeptics" Use Data and Charts To Prove The "Official Narrative" Is Wrong

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

stock here:  Here is the “study” that Amazing Polly is ripping apart as Academic Propaganda with the intent of attacking truth so the truth tellers can be discredited. 

Then they cite another source who “argues that increasing fact-checking or levels of scientific literacy is insufficient for fighting alternative facts.” To them, anti-maskers “value unmediated access to information and privilege personal research and direct reading over ‘expert’ interpretations.” Bingo! aka No Shit Sherlock!

So, we distrust elites and the medical establishment, preferring instead to get the accurate, hard data ourselves and interpret it in a common-sense, rational way. And we must be stopped, apparently. Oh, the humanity!

And their cite (52) seems to be able to sum it up nicely…..

Hochschild [52] explains the intractable partisan rift in American politics by emphasizing the importance of a “deep story”: a subjective prism that people use in order to make sense of the world and guide the way they vote. For Tea Party activists, this deep story revolved around anger towards a federal system ruled by liberal elites who pander to the interests of ethnic and religious minorities, while curtailing the advantages that White, Christian traditionalists view as their American birthright. We argue that the anti-maskers’ deep story draws from similar wells of resentment, but adds a particular emphasis on the usurpation of scientific knowledge by a paternalistic, condescending elite that expects intellectual subservience rather than critical thinking from the lay public

Here is one of the authors of this “study”.   And you can email him at the link
