In today's world, it is more important than ever to be able to critically assess the information we consume. With the rise of social media and the spread of misinformation, it can be difficult to know what to believe. This is especially true in countries like Turkey, where political polarization is rampant and trust in the news is declining. In this episode, along with Çiğdem Bozdağ and Suncem Koçer, we explore the role of polarization on news users' perception of misinformation and mistrust in the news on social media. We examine how political polarization influences the way people consume news, how they evaluate the credibility of information, and how they make decisions about what to believe. We also discuss the implications of this research for the future of the news media and for democracy.
