Scott - the problem will only get worse with the increasing lack of (1) basic literacy skills and (2) critical thinking skills amongst our general population.
Plus (3) an erroneous belief that a [dumbed down] tertiary qualification these days somehow equates to an 'education', thereby conferring intellect upon the proud possessor, who then confuses this with having attained wisdom to know fake when they see it.
Media (including social media) platforms are also making it worse with increasingly ideological biases.
