Misinformation drops dramatically after Trump gets banned from Twitter

RE: Misinformation drops dramatically after Trump gets banned from Twitter
I run "NewsMix" on DirecTV. This has resulted in my seeing much more Fux News over the past few months than I'd see over my entire time on cable, dating back to the '80s. One thing I noticed was what they must things as cleverly worded snippets/headlines/etc.

"Hunter Biden questioned by Feds!" If you only watched that channel or it's sisters-in-sin you'd come away with proof positive that Hunter was one step outside a jail cell.

People who only read "above the fold"* would jump to that conclusion easily and happily.

*Archaic term for reading on the top half of a newspaper's front page.
