A third of Americans believe Covid-19 laboratory conspiracy theory – study
Pew Research report revealed most Americans believed Covid-19 came about naturally, but 29% believed it was created in a lab."
There's a real problem with the disinformation campaigns ran by right wing and their associated media, like the Fox channels and tabloids.

Not to mention the disinformation campaigns by the left wing and their associated media.
@design_RG @sda Do you believe that the left wing media is a reliable source of information?
I follow professional media that for some people is qualified as "left wing" and believe in their reporting. The NY Times, The Guardian, The Atlantic, all first class journalism.
Some people counterpoint with clippings or links to obscure "right wing" publications.
Each one of us has the freedom to access and evaluate the sources for information we rely on.

I don't watch Fox, so have no idea what kind of "bad faith" actions you're referring to.
@sda The current president major concern seems to be his reelection -- as seen by turning daily press briefings into de facto campaign rallies and free TV airtime.
You would liken the bad faith actions by Fox and subsidiaries to any opposite side media? Really?
I find the actions like the Wisconsin election manipulation are not only despicable, but criminal -- and deserving of full legal prosecution once more sane minds prevail.
