"It’s widely believed that this is the age of misinformation, of alternative
facts, and of conspiracy theories gone mainstream, from QAnon to anti-vaccine
and anti-lockdown movements.
In this telling, claims spread by internet crackpots are amplified by partisan
news networks and social media to the point that wild myths can now influence
or even change governments.
But is this really the case, or are we inflating the problem of misinformation?
Ironically, many of our common beliefs about the issue are, well, myths."
