When I was in public radio, I was known as the person who loved to do research - like reading the lawsuit, or digging down to understand where the info was coming from. That made me odd. Since I had published my own newspaper before I made the transition to mainstream journalism, I had not realized the expectations were so low. It was flabbergasting. It was during this time (the mid-teens) that I was told the Southern Poverty Law Center wasn’t credible anymore. Because the disinformation had extended to discrediting the people who track disinformation.
Having grown up in a culture of deception, we satisfied our truth seeking with fiction, where one could find real answers to tough questions. The economics of ignorance have been proven over and over again. The problem with critical thinkers is you can't sell them anything.

That is so very true - the economics of ignorance is a powerful phrase
I have tried to find the word in German meaning “you can’t sell them nothing” …It’s a long one.
Scary stuff.
