The great forces of those interested in suppressing the spread of news and those interested in being paid for their stories to be read are pretty much insurmountable but there is a way past this that neither will like: Simply deliver their conclusions, reasoning, mistakes, and an accurate report through Fair Use, &c.
I wouldn't be surprised if the benefactors of this tripe are even more upset about that. Maybe they will take the uphill fight and challenge fair use, and so on and so on. The foundation they stand on will evaporate beneath them over time and they'll rely on lobbying and ever more pretentious foundations than they had before.
We all wonder how the newsrooms and newspapers of yesteryear were so well funded and so able to nail an absolute home run in a time long gone but the answer is right in front of us. So much of the "news" is just a conduit of public relations, from the advertisers and worse, straight to the audience. At the same time, so much news made by actual reporters is not great for advertisers, the government, important people, etal.
There are absolutely answers but nobody wants to pay for them with money or other means.
