I really agree with your point that you need to have a way to know what to believe and that there are serious blind spots. But I think a small, un-elite media

I really agree with your point that you need to have a way to know what to believe and that there are serious blind spots. But I think a small, un-elite media is exactly where the problem is right now. All these blogs and YouTube channels that wants to spread the truth, then discover you can make money pushing conspiracy, have actually been crowding out actual journalistic organizations that have actual reporters. To me, they are the spiritual successors of the small journals which would have great original reporting on local labor or environmental issues and would also casually report on medical myths and other pet causes of the authors. I'm not sure what the answer is though and I think you're making some great points here.

These are very good points, that I'll have to think about more.
