But when it comes to candidates, there are multiple neutral websites that will just give you their stated platform (if they have one) up and down the ballot.

You're not wrong, but I'm saying it's an additional step for folks to take. And why would they when everything they're seeing is confirming their beliefs?

It's definitely a problem of media illiteracy.
