"It's important to be aware when something you're reading is not the only opinion, when there is another point of view worth paying attention to," says California-based Intel researcher Rob Ennals.

That simply is not true.

"The real problem is, when you don't realize something is disputed, you don't realize there are other points of view and you might not be aware you've wandered into a dispute."

Pure hogwash.

"The good thing is that if something is disputed enough that people will care, the chances are that someone is going to care enough to mark it as disputed," says Ennals.

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

"I don't think we can really be the arbiters of truth, we can't tell you automatically what is true and what is false. All we can really hope to do is, if there's a credible source that gives a credible point of view, let you know."

Balderdash! "Once you actually believe something, it takes quite a lot of data or evidence to overcome that belief and it takes a lot of attention to do that," says Fugelsang.

Utterly ridiculous.

"With a lot of repeat exposures, it does change."

Liar! Liar! You creepy liar!

An argument's not
simply denying something
somebody asserts!

I’m sensing some skepticism on your part regarding this.

Just lemme just make a wild guess here, this Rob Ennals from Intel is a hard core 0bama supporter, thinks that all those protesting against 0bamacare are spreading “disinformation”, and has probably been working closely with 0bama’s shadowy, frightening, thought control “czar” Cass Sunstein.
