This article suggests that Donald Trump (and his supporters, by association) is responsible for the spread of misinformation, which resulted in our country's inability to control the coronavirus. This functions to attack Trump as an opponent, making him synonymous with the destruction we have experienced since March 2020. For people who take the threat of coronavirus seriously or have been impacted by it already, this makes it very clear that Trump is an opponent and strengthens conviction against him.

    I find this example to be right in the middle on the harmful to beneficial scale. Reason why I think it's in the middle is because I feel like it is kind of hard to say that a huge pandemic is all in hands of one person and his team. This post suggests that because of the misinformation, it is Trump and his supporters fault. I think that it's beneficial because it's fascinating information, if true. But, I think it's harmful because it's hard to throw all of this on one person. This is the reason why I think this is in the middle of the scale.
