2020-07-30 | Study: US adults who mostly rely on social media for news are less informed, exposed to more conspiracies – TechCrunch
'The firm’s research also found that social media news consumers skewed young — 48% of those who mostly used social media for news were between 18 and 29, for example. '
'The social media group, on this topic, was closer to the local TV group (11%). '
'Pew’s conclusion from its research is that social media users are less informed, which seems fairly accurate on these specific topics. '
'And yet, the same social media group reported they’re less concerned about the impact of made-up news. '
'Among those social media news consumers aware of the COVID-19 conspiracy, 44% who used social media to often get COVID-19 news said the theory was at least “probably true.” Only 33% of those who relied less on social media for COVID-19 news said the same. '

As if conspiracies don't exist: laws on the books against them; anti-trust laws to fight them; checks and balances in our republic to minimize them; many examples of them throughout history -- yet, for some reason being exposed to the possibility of a conspiracy makes you less informed.

I read all of my news from many different sources online.
I don't listen to state sanctioned, propaganda sources on TV or radio.
Does that make me less informed!
Or does that make me less programmed?

As though being a conspiracy automatically makes it false.
They slip the falsehood into the statement and hope people are going to just accept it as fact.

Is that a conspiracy?

I like that it says "...exposed to more conspiracies." In stead of 'conspiracy theories'.
