Governments and political parties are the biggest purveyors of "misinformation". Controlling it is the means.
It's the partisan bull crap of "Not my side! It's those other guys!" that has gotten us to this point.
And anyone critical of one side is immediately labeled by that side as an enemy from the other side. So criticism is dismissed out of hand as TDS or C/O/BDS.
And these undereducated, poorly informed, and easily duped people decide our country's future, while a majority of Americans just sit it out and let the lunatics run the asylum.
