Why debate people (when we can criticize and condemn them for expressing certain opinions)?

    There is no other choice.  All you can do is criticize and condemn people that ignore facts and repeat rumors. Because it's impossible to debate people that express opinions based on lies, fears, and nonsense. 

    Any time someone picks one source of info or repeats one opinion they heard from a quesionable source, they are not qualified to debate anything.

    It's called "Being brainwashed", and that causes them to  blindly refuse to consider other possibilities from legitimate sources. 

    I use at least 5 news sources. Because no one source is absolutely perfect.
