Look folks, I get that this is a libertarian crowd but hear me out: If someone says the earth is flat, it's not dystopian for editors to minimize those claims, or even point out how incorrect they are. Instead, in today's media world, the response would be, "two sides disagree on contour of the planet", and would present two talking heads to chatter about their opinions. Facts are facts, and we're losing the battle online to disinformation. Beware of slippery slope arguments about how editorializing leads to propaganda.
