The Onion

Yeah. To me the misinformation conversation just sounds like”why are the poors talking to each other instead of listening to US?”

If we had a misinformation law in 2001, would it have applied to the news outlets or gov officials who were lying about the Iraq war?

There is A real problem in how we sort out second hand evidence, it’s just that this problem didn’t magically start when social media became a thing and it won’t be fixed by returning authority to those same old institutions who were lying to us in the past.
