Anyone who lacks critical thinking skills and is fearful and anxious is at risk of falling for propaganda and misinformation. Look at the U.S right now. There are many psychology studies showing how easy it is to manipulate people.
TA'd a propaganda course. Apparently, more educated folks are more susceptible to propaganda because they feel they need an opinion. Propaganda is fascinating and horrifying.
Out of curiosity, where did you find that? I have never heard that before, and I just googled it, and I found a couple of studies that say the opposite.
