I've got a problem with this, it seems like a correlation rather than a causation.

I'd say the truth lives within the following irony.

The more every unqualified opinion is treated equally in the wider media, without investigation or assessment, the less equal we become! Murdoch's News Ltd will examine every published scientific opinion, often using fake/false claims and cherrypicked facts, and barely question the Dunning Kruger effect driven fools commentating wrongly on deeply technical issues.

It's the widely broadcast unquestioned voice of nutters and conspiracy theorists, whose fake claims go largely unquestioned by the broader media, that drives the opinion of poll driven career politicians.
