Baizuo Found Dead After Fact Checking Meme

We are reaching levels of reputational collapse that shouldn't be possible. An obviously fake story was fact-checked because in 2022, the average voter might believe a story about the Washington Post calling for the cancellation of elections to save democracy. This hits on so many levels. The public assumes the media are the authoritarians? Possibility that the media itself is so stupid that it is fact-checking jokes? It's own sideso malinformed by mainstream media that it requires these fact checks? However you spin it, the implication is a reputational fatality for media.
