It's not that complicated a concept and the flavoring of it doesn't matter beyond being a nice story. It's a simple logical conclusion that needs no additional justification. In the end, all of us here have been a victim of that sort of thing and we all probably became aware of it at least once while also completely prepared to make the same mistake at some other time.

At least in the U.S., it's the exact opposite problem that is eating away at democracy.

There are literally tens of millions of people who refuse to believe any story from any news source because they wildly overestimate the corruption of journalism across the board.

Where's the pretentious tag for that phenomenon?

The two problems can coexist at the same time. I feel this is attributing arguments to a simple concept that it never made.
