Don't bother. See this is the problem; the lies and conspiracy theories are
so thick out there that it will blunt the effectiveness of our response to this crisis. Every Trumpist I know is of this mind. It's always somebody else's fault. The lying press, the Chinese, the Democrats, George Soros, the Illuminati, the Clintons, Comet Pizza, the lizard men....no conspiracy or narrative is too weird or unfounded so long as it plays to their confirmation bias. Then they'll point to real cases of bias in others to say, "See? Both sides do it!" when in fact one side is responsible for the bulk and extremity of the claims.
Trump plays to it. People buy it. Voila! Half the country can't see facts when they get slapped in the mouth with them.
