The current prevalence of misinformation stems from a learned lack of consequence. A single political figure was documented making over thirty thousand false statements in one term, averaging about twenty-one per day. This pattern moved from exaggeration to strategy, culminating in the repeatedly debunked claim of a stolen election. The systematic correction of such lies was abandoned, not broken. Major platforms like Meta removed established fact-checking programs after the 2024 election.
