 Woke Misinformation, like the following examples, is constantly being circulated: 

- Human beings can change their sex  
- Cops murder hundreds to thousands of unarmed Black men each year  
- There is a sex based wage gap between men and women

These have been parroted talking points for years  yet so few on the Left hold themselves accountable - why is that?

“Whatever the Party holds to be the truth, is truth. It is impossible to see reality except by looking through the eyes of the Party.”  

— O'Brien (1984 by George Orwell)

Misinformation experts largely lean in a single direction politically. This skew can, will, and does impact which information is deemed legitimate or not.

Narrative Gatekeeping is the true end result.
