part of the reason media literacy is so bad is because we have two political parties in this country combined with how territorial people have become. When people have chosen a side, and their side must be victorious, it leads to things like decreased media literacy. People are looking for things that proclaim their side correct. It doesn't matter if the article is truthful or accurate, all that matters is they said my side won.

Take a look at COVID. One side will say masks work! The other side will say masks do not work! Both sides have sources backing up their point, likely no critical thought has been applied, but source says my argument wins!
