If you KNOW Fox News won't lie to you, just go there, and only there. Everything else is a lie. If you KNOW NPR won't lie to you, just go there, but only go there. Everything else is a lie.
I think it will only make things worse, because that's the simplest, least 'change' solution for the most people. Society is like water, it always seeks the lowest point.

The whole Epstein thing sure seemed to get a lot of coverage and outright bi-partisan mocking just as one example. /r/politics and the "organic" front page of reddit aside, it seems to me the number of people waking up to the possibility that the whole thing is an utter and complete farce is growing. > Society is like water, it always seeks the lowest point. Let's not forget these things are analogies, not laws. A trend remains in place until it doesn't.
