What's Worse? Low-Information Voters or False-Information Voters?

9. False informing media is worse, it creates the bad voters

A lot of the false information voters are that way because they buy into lies people in the media are telling them, often guests on media shows or people in news stories. If the media did a better job debunking the lies their guests say and lies people believe in stories they report then people wouldn't be so misinformed.

But of course, it's too boring to the traditional news media to go "but congressman, your own slogan of cutting domestic spending and taxes and increasing defense spending makes it impossible to balance the budget, we've got the numbers to prove it". And it's also not good for business to correct the liars on one side of the aisle too often, even if the liars tend to be from the same side, since that'll get you labeled as biased against that political party.
