When I was doing a bit of academic editing I soon learned how many students relied on internet sources like wikipedia and google without ever seeking an alternative, and how shocked most were when my red ink pointed out inaccuracies they'd taken at face value. The first reaction was usually anger - at me, lol. So these days, when it is revealed that the Trump regime calculated their recent tariff impositions on the basis of trade deficits rather than the causes of those deficits I am not the least bit surprised by so called experts taking the easy route via the internet.
And even less surprised when book burning campaigns become part of political thinking.
The great dumbing down is well underway.
