Recycling my comment from a recent discussion: The problem is that we don't want facts - we want confirmations.

"The reality is that the implication of the Internet is that ideas are in abundance, and people will seek out what they already agree with, as opposed to accepting what is delivered to them." https://stratechery.com/2020/the-idea-adoption-curve/

Fact checking is not the right angle to look at it - what we need is curiosity.
