   I started reading this book:

   Wrong: How Media, Politics, and Identity Drive our Appetite for Misinformation.

   These are things I’ve been thinking about for years, watching happen on left-leaning social media, feeling frustrated by, and trying to understand.

   But there is also a propensity to hold on to misinformation on the left.
