This destroys democracy. Because you can't check everything yourself, or even a tiny amount of things, so you have no meaningful basis on which to tick that box on the ballot.
Hell, even text suffers from this problem. Back when the UK (briefly) hit their target of 100,000 Covid-19 tests a day, the BBC News website pushed a bullshit claim that Germany was already averaging that many a month earlier. This played well into all the existing narratives about British exceptionalism, Brexit, inferiority to Europe, and the incompetence of our Covid response. It was also trivially verifiable as untrue - the German testing numbers were up on the RKI testing website, in English, and not only were they nowhere near that a month earlier, they were still well below it when the BBC published that claim. Someone at the BBC had mistaken the number of tests German labs had the capacity to process a day for the actual number of tests, which was particularly bad since literally every other part of Germany's testing process was more of a bottleneck than lab capacity. The BBC then kept this claim up and prominently linked to the article it was in on their front page for a month after they knew it was untrue. A large proportion of the UK population probably saw it. How many people do you think spotted the error? (They've since decided that because they've memory-holed it, they don't have to append a correction.)
