People on TV

I've often found the folks that say "Do the research", or as you put it claim they've "done their research", are usually the least capable of actually doing the critical thinking needed in proper research and being able to sort out good information sources from bad.

It's worse than that. It's selective and biased research... and sometimes they are unaware they are doing it. They don't ask the correct questions, in the correct way, to receive the correct answers.

1. They might make a false assumptions then ask something like "What percentage of the wealthy elite are lizard people?" or "Which democrats are accused of eating babies?"

2. It could be something less obvious like "What evidence is there to prove the Earth is flat?" The mistake here being that the search engine will ignore the evidence that the Earth is not flat.

Plenty of other examples, but basically, if you want to "prove" something, there is likely some "evidence". Furthermore, if you are insistent upon being "right" and have something to prove and argue about, you probably aren't going to search why you are wrong. However, this is exactly what we should be doing... hypothesis and null hypothesis.
 
Does the ex-girlfriend have schizophrenia? I know some people with schizophrenia really think the people on TV are talking to them and watching them, especially on the news since they're always breaking the fourth wall.

TV people must be strange, though. How else would they fit in there and still be able to move around and breathe and stuff?

When I was a kid I used to imagine there were tiny little people inside the TV who would appear whenever you turned it on, but that was back when the TV was like a box. They probably would have been squashed on the flatscreens we use now.
 
She believed in a flat earth too.
I see Facebook has flat earth groups and you don't have to be a member to read the posts.
For example online I have been reading about stars and flat earth theories
She believed world leaders are already decided and elections are meaningless
