The media is the cause of why so much misinformation was allowed to perpetuate. For instance, an honest journalist interviewing a congressman at the DNC wouldn't allow him to say that Trump called Nazis "very fine people" 5 years after it was debunked. But they do.
Unfortunately all the aging boomers fall for it, and here we are.
Its not just boomers. Anyone will believe any news media regardless of outlet so long as it affirms their worldview.
People on both sides of the political spectrum criticize the news for lying and spreading misinformation. Yet, as soon as its an article that affirms their beliefs, they dont qiestion the article, they just say 'see this proves my point' then the very next article says something they don't agree with and suddenly the news is spreading misinformation again.
This is just bias. People are more biased and delusional now than ever. Its a paradox, people have more access to news, information, data, computers now more than ever and as information spreads at faster and faster rates it seems people are more misinformed, biased and childish more than any other time in my life.
