Haven’t not read, but will add to my (long) list. I just don’t understand people who can be influenced like that. I don’t believe I could be hypnotized either. Too strong-willed. (Thank God)
Not that tough.
Most people are intellectually lazy. They see something on facebook that fits their preconceived ideas and world view and believe it.
Most don’t bother to check other sources before re-posting something so the false news or bad analysis of real news spreads rapidly.
It is easy to see how this could work really well in social media.
