Are there not more and less risky sources? If you have source that provides you with high-quality, predictive information, over and over and they are right, should not that individual be allowed less scrutiny than a person that has no track record, or a bad track record? Given finite attention, doesn't a person have to decide what to scrutinize, and what to let slide?

That scratch in my surface jumps me back, yet again, to the postmodern point:
Beware of the online war of propaganda
http://news.usc.edu/82853/beware-of-the-war-of-propaganda-taking-place-online/> “People normally trust online content,” said Farshad Kooti, one of the Ph.D. candidates at USC Viterbi who worked with Galstyan. “Unfortunately, this introduces an opportunity to spread misinformation by using automated bots that are very hard to detect.”
Misinformation and disinformation are NOT the threat. Trust is the threat.
