A big problem with all of this is just how rife misinformation has been and how unbelievably hard it's find actual factual, verified information. A few of the things you've mentioned, I've heard are incorrect, but how can anyone know if the corrections are correct or the initial information was correct or if any of it is correct.

There is a huge incentive for pundits to flood the information zone, both a financial incentive to be the first with anything that might get shared a lot, but also the incentive to dunk on 'the other side'.

It's extremely hard to fix problems like this when people willfully disagree on the basic facts.
