The news problem is a generational thing. Younger generations overwhelmingly avoid those types of media, and when they do watch it often find the arguments hollow and sensational. Better media literacy likely.

As long as people are alive that watch it, and as long as news is considered entertainment instead of truth, it will keep happening. Best bet is to just turn it off.

Yea. I also think that other forms of “news” that the younger generation use is wholly unregulated. That there is no recourse for “influencers” that fabricate news on those platforms.

Yeah thats a whole other trap on its own, using social media sources that have no legal journalistic requirements to be truthful or make corrections.

For me I try to go to communities that allow a diverse range of perspectives, and then use mainly international media that have solid reputations.
