> "And dis-information is more engaging (people argue about it) than straight facts."
Odd statement. People generally don't enter a discussion with the intention of "engaging with disinformation". They are intending to engage in discussion.
Sometimes facts are agreed, with contested implications; other times contested facts and exchange of evidence informing those facts.
> "The sites are not tailored towards factual information."
Tailored? See, we could right now engage in a discussion about "fact tailors" and whether they exist. And if they do exist, is the art of tailoring not about adjusting presentation in a manner that suppresses unsightly truth so the end result looks good?
> I rarely bother with correcting people.
In other words, you're denying those people the opportunity to be corrected by you!
