To add to what I wrote earlier, @Pulsing Ear, there seems to be a growing trend for people on the right to never doubt or question information they are given about the left. Even if any corrected information does somehow get through it is still the left's fault ("well, they weren't clear..." Or "well, I could see them doing that..." Etc).
To give another example from this thread, @Lucifer linked to right wing media sources about a "leftist" university only requiring flu vaccines for white people. That sounds crazy, right? Because it is. Not because "the left" is "that crazy" but because it's literally a fabricated story. In that case, right wing media edited the full university statement to make it *look* like it said that by only publishing the first few lines (which said something like "we understand that the black community has historically sometimes been let down by the medical field and understand the apprehension about flu shots.")
And left out (deliberately) the short, few sentences part that followed saying essentially "but this is not an example of that and everyone has the same requirements."
When this was brought up, the gut conservative reaction was "well they should have been more clear."
And yes the left can be very wordy sometimes and maybe unclear but a lot of the time that's not the issue. The issue is often the right distorting the positions and statements made by the left and no one questions it because they are convinced that the right is always right and the left is just "fake news."
