Man, we’ve built an internet where you literally can’t trust anything.

  Or, we have built an Internet where fake/true things are eventually uncovered. Do we have a baseline for how trustworthy print/TV media was before?

    Most people that have knowledge of a news story are often incredulous reading one due to incorrect framing or outright mistakes. More insidiously, the news is also molded by a set of institutional incentives that often results in a highly distorted picture of the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34LGPIXvU5M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34LGPIXvU5M

Which makes it even worse for Wikipedia that this kind of sources is explicitly the only kind it allows.

        Wikipedia allows reframing. It uses sources for their "fact finding" function not for their "narrative setting".

  Price of free speech on internet - we're swimming in lies and ideology.
