I think it's partly an issue with retractions. Information can be kind of insidious, even when the consumer knows it is false. Fox news does tons of retractions (of course), but it's the way they do it that really tells you what they are about.

I'm all for free speech, but I wish we could get a handle on people saying completely wrong things for profit.
