Left-Wing Misinformation Is Having a Moment
Some misinformation researchers are worried that the new spate of left-leaning conspiracy theories could further polarize political discourse before the November election.
OK, buzz phrase then. "Misinformation researchers" are fact checkers who arrived too late. Sort of like fire fighters who arrive after the house has burned to the ground are fire researchers.
The Times story (link above) makes clear, however, left-wing misinformation is not as toxic as the right-wing variety. As, for example, what appeared on Trump's ear after somebody took a shot at him in Pennsylvania was not blood, but ketchup.
Silly, huh?
