it is not a matter of manufacturing factoids that's at issue here. it's a matter of systematically blurring the line between political propaganda and information. it is a matter of a news outlet systematically erasing the notion of news and substituting for it unreliable infotainment that's massaged to benefit the political right.
to try to divert the problem to the level of factoid-production is to divert the discussion away from what's important.
that's why it's not worth refuting.
