It even surprises me how these people fit so neatly into my model of information disorder, distrust that's radicalised by online communities that reinforce that sense of distrust.

It's a sad state of affairs.
This is the thinking of a man who just didn’t read the news, and then read a little bit of hard right faff and completely bought it out of ignorance.
They did you just spent all your time drawing eyes on the margin of your page!
(And as an ex-teacher, these exact kids would complain that school wasn’t the bursting or relevant and never taught them stuff they wanted to know).
There was no press consensus, if anyone took a second or two to look. Large not in my name protests.
Of course Murdoch still has some input into what becomes a post or goes viral. But his power is much diminished.
It’s just they weren’t listening.
It’s the same with Musk and grooming gangs. He’d never heard of them so he was shocked. It’s been front page news in the UK for a decade.
It’s naïvety not conspiracy. It’s ignorance that suddenly becomes righteousness.
(I guess they’d rather that than admit the original ignorance.)

I'm not convinced that fact-checking is reliable, and even in jurisdictions where it seems to be currently ok, I suspect it could be weaponised with a bit of investment.
Teaching kids skills is best
