Sorry to be a broken record, but these issues again address what I mentioned during our last office hours. As Bannon said, "flood the (information) zone with s***." What tv news organization (49% said TV is 'often' their source) is going to provide this kind of depth? How many Americans will have the time desire and inclination to invest so much energy in getting to the bottom of such issues - we have 'grocery lists' to write. ;-) Sound bytes in conjunction with confirmation bias and an individual's residence in a chosen, closed media ecosystem provide an individual with the easier, simpler answer of us vs them. Sorry to be so negative, so I'll end with hope. Retired from teaching last year, but was impressed by the steps we'd taken in the Social Studies to help our high school students understand the nefarious ways of social media platforms and news organizations using tools from organizations like the Stanford Education History Group and UofWA's Social Media and the Classroom program. Asha, thanks so much for the clearly enunciated 3-step formula for dealing with such conspiracy theories. Will definitely pass on to my former colleagues as another tool for their tool kit. We always encouraged our students to become lifelong learners, and I want to thank Asha and the rest of you for helping me to practice what I preached. Still. Love. Learning.
