Most people's natural instinct if a claim seems plausible on the surface but the media wants to suppress discussion of it is going to be to believe that the claim is true. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a prominent example where attempts to label a claim as "misinformation" didn't work at all. Now a supermajority (66%) of Americans, including a majority of Democrats, lean toward a lab leak. This proportion has been growing over time (49% in 2020, 58% in 2021). — PolitiTweet.org

Whether or not the public is right about the lab leak, IDK, but I generally think people in media underestimate the sophistication of the public. How they get from what they hear/read to what they *believe* is complicated and not well-described by the notion of "misinformation". — PolitiTweet.org
