"Breakdown of a shared reality
Reporters and researchers who study misinformation are at their wits' end. I feel the same way as NYT reporter Stuart Thompson, who wrote on Threads that he is "really struggling with how to communicate how bad things are getting misinfo-wise." He wrote that "it just becomes a lot of noise... I'm really concerned that the public doesn't quite grasp what's happening."

His point: This is something "darker than a misinformation crisis." Warzel says "Americans are divided not just by political beliefs but by whether they believe in a shared reality — or desire one at all."" https://view.newsletters.cnn.com/messages/172891042264749ab3b59ae68/raw
