Kinda like when someone said that instead of running for mayor, Bloomberg could have given everyone in the country $1M. A guest said it on NBC and Bryan Williams, nor the pundit had any intuition that it seemed grossly wrong. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/mar/06/msnbc/bad-...

The system incentivizes ‘sounds good’ over ‘is correct’.

If news agencies needed to pay out fines for false info, you better believe they’d be checking more.
