Feelings Over Facts
The distribution of misinformation through social media highlights a shift in how individuals share content. Instead of prioritizing factual accuracy, people increasingly share images and narratives that resonate emotionally or symbolically with their experiences. This trend is exemplified by notable political figures who circulate misleading content, justifying their actions by stating that the emotional impact of the content outweighs the necessity for it to be true. This reflects a broader cultural phenomenon where emotional resonance alone drives the spread of information.
