Human brains are super hackable. Propaganda or "Fake News" is literally mind control. The Nazi Party infamously exploited this vulnerability. Fox News was created to be "Faux News" from its inception, and it's work just as planned. What has really upturned the world though, is people's realization that supposedly neutral institutions like CNN/BBC aren't much different from Fox News. The creators of Fox News were never really wrong about that, even if their reaction was to be even more biased and untruthful. The problem is that it's left people grasping for trust. Jon Stewart filled that role for many, but then he got burned out. The solution to propaganda is to restrict your intake of information to high quality sources. That means finding specific journalists, and never relying on a media brand like Fox News, CNN, NY Times, Washington Post, or even Reuters. You simply cannot trust a brand, it's not a person. Wikipedia points to another solution, which is crowdsourced consensus-based information. Restricting your information diet to Wikipedia might actually be reasonable. The process is fairly rigorous and not easily abused without consequence.
