One of the things I don't think you need to convince anybody anymore is that the media is biased. I think there used to be a day, maybe when I was a kid, when people said, “Well, the news is at least trying not to be biased — they're at least trying.” But now, nobody believes that. What they do believe — which is weirder and maybe worse — is that they believe that only the other side is biased. And that's a tough one to crack. So, how do you convince somebody that their own side is feeding them garbage and has for a long time? – Scott Adams in Hoaxed.

And so, this idea of fake news is sort of a misnomer. Because fake news creates real opinions, which creates real actions. And then we live with the real consequences of that. No amount of reporting makes Pizzagate real. But the bullet that goes through that pizza shop is very real. And very dangerous. And could have killed someone. And so, when you see these people, they get radicalized by fake information or by speculation or by disingenuous online posturing. - Ryan Holiday in Hoaxed.

Their Ethical Code of Conduct says you must do nothing to compromise your objectivity and neutrality. It may not be a shock to you, or the people watching this film, that The New York Times is biased. But it's a shock to The New York Times. Their credo says, “You cannot say or do political things that compromise your neutrality as a journalist.” – James O’Keefe in Hoaxed

So, yeah, I absolutely see the left bias in the media and our pop culture programming that we get. And, you know, I guess because I'm a liberal and a registered Democrat, I was kind of the fish that couldn't see the water that I was swimming in. And, so I believed it all, back before making The Red Pill movie. I believed what SNL would joke about. I believed what Rachel Maddow would say. I believed it all and didn't question it. Until I became the subject of the smear. – Cassie Jaye in Hoaxed.

You know, the moment you pull out either: slander, abuse at a social level, or a law, or a gun, or a concentration camp, you have lost the argument. And the regularity with which the left escalates to violence is, to me, an indication of just how badly they have lost the argument. They will not accept that what they want cannot work and is not only inhumane, but anti-human. And so, they have to continue to escalate. – Stefan Molyneux in Hoaxed.

I see a lot of the media as actually polarizing us and these individual echo chambers that really pit us against each other. And that's been creating increasing partisanship in our politics, which is really damaging for uniting America. And, so, that's something that I'm definitely afraid of. – James Damore in Hoaxed.

Often [you] use an ideological mask to-, to shield from yourself what your true motivations are. Say, well, you look at Marxism and you think, well, are they actually-, are the Marxists actually motivated by compassion and the desire to help the working class? Well, then you allow the Marxist ideas to unfold in society and you watch what happens. What happens is the working class gets slaughtered and so does everyone else. – Jordan Peterson in Hoaxed.

Finding out truth would require a little bit of work, and I would advise everyone to do it. I would say question the source. Question the method being used to deliver this truth to you and do your own research. Really evaluate the information that's being presented to you, so that you can really determine the truth for yourself. – Hawk Newsome in Hoaxed.
