    If you were right and people researched things they heard on the news, disinformation wouldn’t spread. And Biden wouldn’t have to say that violent crime is historically low.

    I mean I have no idea why you think he would bother saying it if most people researched this stuff.

      Perhaps to reiterate that he’s bringing value to the US for the upcoming election?

      Perhaps to cover all the bases, for those that don’t look at fact/evidence (meaning not necessarily a majority of people not looking at fact)

      I mean the possibilities are endless, i feel like you’re taking a pretty narrow view to this subject

          That wasn’t the topic of discussion. You implied that a majority of people don’t research their views without anything other than anecdotal evidence

          You tried to pivot to this other topic, I did not follow it.

          I can agree with “at least some people do not properly vet and research their views” but I cannot subscribe to “most”

          Make sense?
