I just want to drop-kick him into the nearest sewer...

This is a good parody. The best parodies are usually indistinguishable from that which they are spoofing.

But I don't think I am a mallet head, so results may vary.

On the other hand, I am a retired percussionist so maybe i AM a mallethead.

If any college student of mine turned in a literature review requiring scientific journals for citing and data, Fox, and grocery store tabloids would never be allowed as viable sources. You would fail that class. These fools will fail survival in a world of pathogens 🦠 desperately looking for a host.

who say, "do your own research", I reply, "That is what I have been doing for over sixty years. I know who and what the credible, accurate, truthful, sources are. I also know where the crackpots, liars, bullshit, propaganda and nonsense are."

If you want to seek out data that support your own opinions, then, yes, you can find it. However, that's not doing research. Research involves seeking out data that my contradict your opinion.
