What you may be underestimating is how little of the actual facts about political situations most Americans have. Consider how often the fake news media proclaims something that turns out to be completely false. It is shouted out over the airwaves and internet for a day or two before being pulled back slightly. People who consume only fake news media (most Americans) never even hear the slight retraction. They live in a parallel universe from us informed Americans.

Headline keywords. No one reads the content of articles anymore, too lazy. They just believe the headline keywords as fact even if they are misleading lie.

So true. The headlines are shaped to get tidbits of things...

Sort of like “ fast food” for the mind....

It may not be healthy, or taste good, but its quick and I don’t have to think much about it.

Freee-dame, you are absolutely right! Unless you are skilled in law, you can easily be duped into believing whatever propaganda is being sent your way.
