Most people do not systematically go through every statement that some particular person has made. If someone has heard primarily negative things about somebody else, then that reduces the chance of them even bothering to look at the person’s other writings. This is quite rational behavior, since there are a lot of people out there and one’s time is limited.

You must not go through the entire “memesphere” by the people, but by the memes! The current internet makes that quite easy to do.
You must mean “quite easy” in the sense that it would only require a few millions of man-hours, rather than a few quadrillions.
