How can non-journalists/fact-checkers improve information online? "We need way more people engaging in civil ways online. When you do that, you cede that ground to more combative people." "Seeding social corrections is very effective." - @emilythorson #UnitedFacts — PolitiTweet.org

"Ethical media is an error detection and correction system. Think about that." If the media you're consuming doesn't do that, that's a problem, @CultExpert says. Similarly, ethical ~people~ say "I was wrong, I got it wrong." Authoritarians don't admit that wrongness. — PolitiTweet.org

On Israel/Palestine: "It's a politicized story that eventually needs to be dealt with with a final peace process. The longer that gets put off, the more often you'll see these flares. For the last 10 or 12 years, there has not been a serious effort for peace." - @Camanpour — PolitiTweet.org
