Today, we are again joined by Dr. Steven Ducat, and our question is from Roseland, who lives in Tampa, Florida. I think we all understand that there is a lot of misinformation and disinformation in today's news. If you agree, how does media framing exploit the psychological tendencies of voters? Are they looking to speak to confirmation bias or motivational reasoning?
