Yeah, it doesn’t seem like people believe misinformation because the evidence for it is just so convincing. I see people link to sources (if they even bother doing that), with completely false descriptions of what it shows. It doesn’t matter; as long as the description is the kind of thing that outrages people they’ll amplify it. Corrections will get one tenth of the attention.
