If a tweeter (no names please) spreads half-truths and outright lies, should we respect it? There is so much misinformation swirling about in Europe, the magnitude is shocking and, even more so, how much of it is being believed by the populace. Having multiple objective sources (?) of information is crucial but how many people take the time. Interestingly, religious belief is no less susceptible to abuse by demagogues. 

Unfortunately, faith (no objective truth) doesn't work like public affairs (objective truth possible) and this difference is crucial.
