Sean Illing at vox.com:

   'Flood the zone with shit': How misinformation overwhelmed our democracy
   The impeachment trial probably won't change any minds. Here's why.


   "But there's another, equally vexing problem. We live
   in a media ecosystem that overwhelms people with
   information. Some of that information is accurate,
   some of it is bogus, and much of it is intentionally
   misleading. The result is a polity that has
   increasingly given up on finding out the truth."



   "The core challenge we're facing today is information
   saturation and a hackable media system. If you follow
   politics at all, you know how exhausting the
   environment is. The sheer volume of content, the
   dizzying number of narratives and counternarratives,
   and the pace of the news cycle are too much for
   anyone to process."
