In response to "loosi, from B2, I disagree with "Some people are misinformed by no fault of their own."" by Cuzzin Todd

I disagree with an assumption underlying your disagreement.

You're assuming most people have the critical thinking skills necessary to analyze different sources of information in order to weed out who to believe and who to trust.

Too many people simply accept that someone they admire must be trustworthy and don't stop to think.
