I was just coming here to cite the Trumo campaign as an example. The unfortunate thing is that the amount of effort to counter this bullshit is significantly higher than the initial utterance and most likely will not reach the same audience.<p>For instance, Trump utters something completely off the wall. Retweets galore. Everybody gets spun up. Let&#x27;s say it reaches 1million people which some portion now repeats the soundbite. Someone like Politifacts comes along after the fact and points out the discrepancy after fact checking. Reaches a much smaller follow up audience.<p>This is the sort of informational asymmetry that I find infuriating...
