clickbait GARBAGE

Ever wonder why America is in the shape it is? People are not informed. Today in the sidebar of an article was a gem about Eddie Murphy's military service making Chuck Norris look like a Barbie. Huh???

I think most of us know that Norris served in the Air Force. While his career wasn't a highly decorated one, the man was not a misfit or a monster. But Eddie Murphy? Eddie was born in 1961, so if he graduated high school, it would have been in 1979, although his bio on wiki makes no mention of it. He kicked off his career in "comedy" and was soon on SNL. he then advanced to movies in 1982 with 48 hours.
So where I ask is his military service that makes Chuck Norris look like a Barbie?
A few people will click on the bait and it will most likely take them to a script that has nothing to do with Murphy or Norris. Many people though will see the blurb and it will stick in their mind that Oh, Eddie Murphy had some great military service!
And the picture of him in uniform? It is from the movie "Best Defense" which released and flopped in 1984. Another gotcha because since the film was a dud, folks won't recognize it and put them together.
There are millions of bits of information available on the internet. some of it is false. hell, lots of it is false or misleading. People won't pick up a book anymore. not that the print media is sup[er accurate, but publishers don't want to waste paper ink and time printing things that are demonstrably wrong.
So we have a generation that is better informed but also more misinformed. No woncer they eat Tide Pods and stuff condoms up their noses.
