When someone is sharing mis-information and you know they are wrong, what do you?

Well, this wasn’t an easy conversation. As is the case with so many of the questions I ask, it depends. How much does it matter? Who is it hurting? Will it make any difference if I do/say something?

 

Judy Musa started us off in a great place – Am I sure that I am understanding the person who is giving the information and am I sure it is wrong? She went to verify her source before making a decision about doing anything else (smart).

 

Dr Bob Choat is a self-admitted researchaholic. People know to ask questions like “is this true” before sending him things because he will find the facts. He gave us several tips on how to educate ourselves so we aren’t spreading mis-information.

 

And Dawn Gagye shared how her dad encourages her children to be a little bit skeptical. Don’t believe everything they see/hear/read and think for themselves.

 

We talked about people who are dug into their bias and no amount of information will change their mind (not attractive I must say).

 

I can’t do this conversation justice here in the copy. Listen to it and then I have two questions:

How do you know if something is mis-information

 

And

 

What do you do about it?
