Apply the Same Skepticism to Allies and Opponents

When a story makes your side look good, you share it. When it makes the other side look bad, you share it faster. That's exactly when you should slow down.

In this video, I make the case for holding every claim to the same standard, no matter who it helps or who it hurts. If you'd demand receipts from an opponent, demand them from an ally. Skepticism that only switches on for people you dislike isn't skepticism. It's just a preference.

In this video:

• Why we lower our guard when a claim flatters our side
• A simple double standard test you can run in seconds
• How to check a story you want to be true
• Why credibility comes from consistency, not loyalty
• What to do when your own side gets it wrong

If you know someone who fact-checks one side and not the other, send them this one. Include yourself in that list if you're honest.
