I agree wholeheartedly with your general points. We are about to face an intense chaos, if we're not already in the midst of it. I'm less pessimistic on how many people believe media at face value. There's been large reduction in people who do, and the beginning of that shift is willingness to doubt their 'trusted' sources. When someone says 'this happened' and you say 'actually that turned out to be fake news/not the whole truth' there's a much greater shift in reaction to that than a decade+ ago. The kneejerk is increasingly less condemning.
