Many of the people who stormed the Capitol on Wednesday were racists and thugs.
ALL of them firmly believed fantasies that they had been fed by professional liars who, among other lies, told them they should not believe anything they hear from actual journalists.

Studies show that once a person is sucked into those fantasies, it's very hard to get them out. The work then is to give young people tools and skills to tell lies from truth before it's too late. That's why I support the work of the @NewsLitProject.
It was founded by @alanmillerNLP, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who realized that it's not enough to produce factual, objective, authoritative journalism -- you have to nurture the audience for it. Check out their website/programs here: https://newslit.org/
