Asha, great lesson! I like that you add an audio reading to the written story!

In response to your first question, I think the lack of broadband internet in many areas of America has allowed disinformation to flourish because those areas are then only serviced by the entities of Fox “News”, OAN, etc.

These networks allow that Ease of Entry of disinformation to occur. Fox continually platforms Christopher Rufo as an expert on Critical Race Theory--Nuggets of Truth. And now they have Tulsi Gabbard in the fold who as a former “Democrat” now speaks to the Low Level of Trust of the Democratic Party. And finally, Repetition is Fox’s forte. They continually hammer on those emotional issues, like CRT, grooming, immigrant convoys over and over.
