Yes, and what those intentional misinformers have learned is that once you plant an idea in most people's heads, that's now their locus. No one wants to be "wrong" and everyone wants to be "smart", where smart is defined as always being "right". So being wrong is seen as being stupid. And this is a concept that is being pushed.
That's the problem. We need to push back on the concept that being wrong is a bad thing.
Once we allow ourselves to be wrong, misinformation finds less purchase. Because you're allowed to change your mind.
Don't be concerned with getting it right the first time, be wrong so fast no one notices.
