Misinformed

Inflated conflict and false balance are tactics that exploit our sense of fairness by juxtaposing a very weakly supported fact-claim from a technical field with... a very well-supported fact claim from the same field of expertise. To a non-expert of the field, this makes both claims seem credible, plausible, and equally worthy of consideration.
