Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

George Lakoff and I pushed this simple and reasonable idea years ago. When I returned to journalism, I realized the problem. Editors care more about SEO and controversy (=clicks) than about whether the headline is destroying truth. Incentive is to bait engagement at all cost.

"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism.
Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.

across all the variations: the Baum novel, the original film, the Wiz, Wicked (the book), Wicked (the musical), the Great and Terrible, Wicked (the film), Tin Man, the common theme that unites them all is “Americans are especially susceptible to propaganda from conmen and shysters”
One of the things about the Wizard of Oz, and the Oz series in general, is that it's arguably the first big fantasy series heavily steeped in Americana.
one of the core myths of American stories and art. i really enjoyed the documentary “Lynch/Oz” which came out a few years ago, about the ways WoO shows ups in Lynch’s works

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Kholoud. Kholoud worked in education before this.

It's fascinating to watch such blatant lies. I get it, politicians lie or rely on stats to make themselves look good.
But those lies don't work when everyone can look at their bills and see costs have gone up and their paychecks don't match.
