    If you were right and people researched things they heard on the news, disinformation wouldn’t spread. And Biden wouldn’t have to say that violent crime is historically low.

    I mean I have no idea why you think he would bother saying it if most people researched this stuff.

    • Perhaps to reiterate that he’s bringing value to the US for the upcoming election?

      Perhaps to cover all the bases, for those that don’t look at fact/evidence (meaning not necessarily a majority of people not looking at fact)

      I mean the possibilities are endless, i feel like you’re taking a pretty narrow view to this subject

        You have not explained how disinformation spreads if people research what they hear on the news.

        • That wasn’t the topic of discussion. You implied that a majority of people don’t research their views without anything other than anecdotal evidence

          You tried to pivot to this other topic, I did not follow it.

          I can agree with “at least some people do not properly vet and research their views” but I cannot subscribe to “most”

          Make sense?
