There is honestly not much substance delivered in this post; it's based around a rather oblique, long-form quote that posits illiterate and sheltered people were highly swayable by radio's spoken word, much to the surprise of an educated class raised on print, and suggests that more education may be an antidote. With the quote over, it declares that education was not a sufficient countermeasure today. I fail to see how this rises beyond a deliberately obfuscated ad hominem. There is so much missed potential: one could muse about why messages spread on the Internet can be used to unite and divide, why classes and cohorts of people who (accurately or mistakenly) feel marginalized are attracted to rhetoric, or how a breakdown of trust contributes to a self-fulfilling cognitive dissonance about factually untrue reporting -- but none of this happens, just a quote and a quip.
