“The greatest monster that there is: fake news media: torture with bullying, psychological warfare, spying and then using truthful misleading to complete their plot. The cheapest job ever.”
― Maria Karvouni

“Don't trust anything, motivations vary.”
― Maria Karvouni

“Be wary, though, of the way news media use the word “significant,â€� because to statisticians it doesn’t mean “noteworthy.â€� In statistics, the word “significantâ€� means that the results passed mathematical tests such as t-tests, chi-square tests, regression, and principal components analysis (there are hundreds). Statistical significance tests quantify how easily pure chance can explain the results. With a very large number of observations, even small differences that are trivial in magnitude can be beyond what our models of change and randomness can explain. These tests don’t know what’s noteworthy and what’s not—that’s a human judgment.”

“They make you as they are because it’s the only thing they know and then they tell you it’s your fault because they are jealous you are better than them. But the truth is it’s never your fault. It’s their fault.”
― Maria Karvouni

“Yellow journalism should be illegal. They invade the lives of innocent people and evoke inexistent situations with the aim to preserve evil for profit. They can’t find anything and they construct.”
― Maria Karvouni

“Disinformation is the brainchild of a self-absorbed behavior.”
― Mohith Agadi

“There is no truth; Everything is a strategy for interests.”
― Maria Karvouni

“All humans are the same. It's pathetic when some denounce others for something the first also do. So mend your own business and stop intervening on others' business.”
― Maria Karvouni

“The phrase “fake newsâ€� sounds too playful, too much like a schoolchild faking illness to get out of a test. These euphemisms obscure the fact that the sex-slave story is an out-and-out lie. The people who wrote it knew that it wasn’t true. There are not two sides to a story when one side is a lie. Journalists—and the rest of us—must stop giving equal time to things that don’t have a fact-based opposing side. Two sides to a story exist when evidence exists on both sides of a position. Then, reasonable people may disagree about how to weigh that evidence and what conclusion to form from it. Everyone, of course, is entitled to their own opinions. But they are not entitled to their own facts. Lies are an absence of facts and, in many cases, a direct contradiction of them.”
― Daniel J. Levitin, A Field Guide to Lies: Critical Thinking in the Information Age

“Stop believing everything you're told. Even if it seems to be reliable. People are sly, and fool others for several reasons. Capable humans know exactly how to do that.”
― Maria Karvouni

“Don’t let deception make you hate the wrong person.”
― Maria Karvouni

“Social Media Distancing is a practice of distancing oneself, and in some cases blocking, banning or ignoring toxic people and misinformation disseminated on social media platforms during a pandemic, epidemic or crisis.”
― michael p naughton

“We have very few writers and journalists not on the payroll of the empire or the oppressive powers in today’s world. With few exceptions, most accounts and narratives I hear from and read by the so-called ‘journalistsâ€� and ‘expertsâ€� about Middle East affairs remind me of Upton Sinclair’s immortal words â€� where he writes 'It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon him not understanding it.”
― Louis Yako

“The fabulous statistics continued to pour out of the telescreen. As compared with last year there was more food, more clothes, more houses, more furniture, more cooking-pots, more fuel, more ships, more helicopters, more books, more babies â€� more of everything except disease, crime and insanity.”
― George Orwell, 1984

“As for the third message, it referred to a very simple error which could be set right in a couple of minutes. As short a time ago as February, the Ministry of Plenty had issued a promise (a ‘categorical pledgeâ€� were the official words) that there would be no reduction of the chocolate ration during 1984. Actually, as Winston was aware, the chocolate ration was to be reduced from thirty grammes to twenty at the end of the present week. All that was needed was to substitute for the original promise a warning that it would probably be necessary to reduce the ration at some time in April.”
― George Orwell, 1984

“For example, it appeared from the Times of the seventeenth of March that Big Brother, in his speech of the previous day, had predicted that the South Indian front would remain quiet but that a Eurasian offensive would shortly be launched in North Africa. As it happened the Eurasian Higher Command had launched its offensive in South India and left North Africa alone. It was therefore necessary to rewrite a paragraph of Big Brother’s speech, in such a way as to make him predict the thing that had actually happened.”
― George Orwell, 1984

“The only thing yellow journalists care about is to have something verified even if it true or not. As long as it is reasonably explained they do not care to publish lies. It is wrong profession.”
― Maria Karvouni, You Are Always Innocent

“When someone is serial pervert, this is not news. News is when an asexual is forced to comeâ€� by an invisible neutrino weapon! So it is more probable they'll outcry the asexual than the pervert. Especially if the first (pervert) is famous and the second is famous wannabe (asexual).”
― Maria Karvouni, You Are Always Innocent

“They control the brain and make it think certain thoughts they force it to think that may or not have existed. Then they create clone recordings that essentially are fake but may sound realistic.”
― Maria Karvouni

“Just because it's viral, doesn't make it true.”

“If someone ever presumed to teach Charles Dickens or Thomas Hardy or Robertson Davies to my Bishop Strachan students with the same, shallow, superficial understanding that I'm sure *I* possess of world affairs--or, even, American wrongdoing--I would be outraged. I am a good enough English teacher to know that my grasp of American misadventures--even in Vietnam, not to mention Nicaragua--*is* shallow and superficial. Whoever acquired any real or substantive intelligence from reading *newspapers*? I'm sure I have no in-depth comprehension of American villainy; yet I can't leave the news alone! You'd think I might profit from my experience with ice cream. If I have ice cream in my freezer, I'll eat it--I'll eat *all* of it, all at once. Therefore, I've learned not to buy ice cream. Newspapers are even worse for me than ice cream; headlines, and the big issues that generate the headlines, are pure fat.”
― John Irving, A Prayer for Owen Meany
