When it comes to America, we can say that its not the democracy which is an issue, its the information market is fragile. Some of the counter views on misinformation, point out that the demand for misinformation can scarcely increase, it’s not like we lack supply in quantity or quality. Yet the total prevalence of Misinfo is relatively low in the content diet of Americans or Europeans. The issue, according to this view, is when authorities repeat misinfo, or use it themselves. But why does that matter? IF you have a good media ecosystem, then such sale of bad information should be checked. Well, lies are cheap, and if you have a captive media ecosystem you don’t have to deal with such challenges. This is the case in America. The issue here is not a media bias issue (which exists), it’s a market capture issue on the right, with a closed loop between Political creatures, and media enterprises. The fragility of the US information market is a structural issue that needs to be resolved, for democracy in US to function effectively.
