Misinformation in the 21st century

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Me1wIbukVh0


After watching youtube about how misinformed the general public was in late Qing in the 19th century about the western naval powers, and how officials on the frontlines routinely *lied* to the imperial government in Beijing, and how poor intelligence led to disastrous strategic decisions...

I can't help but realize this is what USA is doing to itself in the 21st century. The age of information.

Absolutely mindblowing.
