Veelgemaakte fouten

• ✗他说的是假新闻。
  ✓据现有证据来看，这一说法有待核实，不能排除信息失真的可能。

  Simply labelling something 假新闻 (fake news) is itself a post-truth rhetorical move. Analytical writing requires evidence-based qualification.

• ✗算法让人变蠢了。
  ✓信息茧房效应可能导致认知偏差，削弱个体的批判性思维能力。

  让人变蠢了 is emotionally charged and vague. Academic discussion requires precise causal mechanism language.

• ✗我不相信媒体说的。
  ✓面对媒体报道，需要运用批判性思维，辨别信源可信度，而非一概否定。

  Blanket distrust is as epistemically weak as blind trust. The C2 move is to describe critical evaluation methodology.

• ✗他被别人带节奏了。
  ✓他的判断可能受到了情绪化叙事的影响，导致认知框架出现偏差。

  带节奏了 is correct colloquially, but in analysis it needs to be unpacked as narrative influence on cognitive framing.

• ✗后真相时代是因为网络。
  ✓后真相现象的兴起涉及算法筛选、情感驱动的内容传播以及公众批判性媒介素养的不足等多重因素。

  Monocausal explanation (因为网络) is reductive. Academic analysis requires multi-factor framing.
