Discussion Post: Finding a Political Post on Social Media

Go on social media and find a political post. This post can be a meme, it can be an article, it can be a Tweet, an Instagram or Facebook post. Screenshot the post and include it in your response. Tell from which social media site you found the post.

Next...

When you're finished with the activity above, complete the following analysis questions for the political social media post that you found and shared on your site. Be as succinct as possible in answering these questions, but also be thorough.

1) What is the source of the post? Is it from a news media outlet? If so, is it located on the media bias chart? If so, where does it fall?

2) Who is the specific author of the post? Does this person have the credentials to be posting about the topic? Elaborate on the person.

3) What is the date of the post? Is the information recent or does the post rely on outdated information?

4) Check your own bias. Is this something you want to believe or is this something you disagree with?

5) Does the post have supporting sources? Essentially, where does the author get their information? If there are supporting sources, are these sources located on the Media Bias Chart?

6) Was the post meant to be a joke or satire? Hint: if your post is a meme, it is meant to be a joke or satire-but there is likely a kernel of truth in it.

7) Read beyond. Click on the link, read the article, or open a new browser tab and investigate further. What did you find out? Was the post accurate or misleading?

Finally...

Make an argument for or against government imposed regulation on Social Media sites.

Do you believe that there should be government regulation on the information that is presented on social media? Should social media platforms have to adhere to professional standards of journalists and ensure that the information on their sites is accurate?
