That's the saddest part. The media is the one entity theoretically equipped to shine light on these things. And it's just fallen down hill in a race to the bottom the last two decades.
And for that we must also place some blame on ourselves. We're less and less likely to support good journalism and gravitate to fluff and fake(-able) news ("Who needs newspapers? I get my news from Twitter").
We cannot shift blame exclusively outwards. We are not discerning consumers of information.
