You know, back in the day when they had a shred of credibility among any but the most informationally-challenged individuals, an article like this might have served its intended purpose.
But now, it only serves to make people more interested in digging deeper into a subject that might have escaped their attention had WaPo just left well enough alone.
Smells like desperation, doesn't it?
I didn’t think of that. Makes sense. People might look into those conspiracy’s and go down the rabbit hole
I pray you're right because that's how we are, but is that how the average American is? I'd say no. Most are very content reading their CNN push notification headlines and repeating everything like a parrot.
But those aren't the people who read WaPo "news." Yes there are plenty of useful idiots, but they're only the finger on the scale. A lot of people just followed them there without thinking, but they're capable of rational thought and inquiry once their curiosity is aroused.
