What kind of false information? I don't trust a single media outlet on Earth, but curious to see your examples.

  How can anyone communicate believable information to you if you already don’t trust anyone? Regardless, I’d suggest reading Descartes or some philosophy of logic. You can’t trust everybody, but there are high value sources out there. The media are largely ok.

    I didn't articulate my view on that fully; I do spend a lot of time thinking about epistemology and logic, and I trust a lot of people (though I'm not very trustful of most large corporations). I was just setting that up to make it clear I was asking for evidence out of curiosity rather than passive aggressive skepticism. Generally if a media outlet reports something as a hard fact, I do believe it.

      Nonetheless your comment made me realize the current propaganda problem has many people acting and in a state of disbelief not dissimilar to being solipsists. I remember reading about that POV quite often in philosophy. So maybe a relevant piece of work exists for just our current problem.
