Sadly, yes. A lot of people consume and regurgitate manufactured opinions. Manufactured consent wouldn't work if it weren't the case. We've struggled with this problem since Plato and will likely continue to for the foreseeable future.

We still need to remind the lemming that pattern recognition isn't the boogieman that pop culture makes it out to be.
