Look. You can’t expect to be taken seriously by independent-minded people, if you assert that certain positions on disputed questions are merely “misinformation” and a “problem” to be “controlled.”

We live in a democracy. We are used to *debating things*, especially when claims are used to remove our civil liberties. The Atlantic should know this, but they’re part of the massive *media* problem we all have.
