hard to say if there is a -cure- (apart study, culture, empaty..) but maybe finding what fuel BS can reveal how to reduce the trouble.. just an idea:
In a small human group (in the last, say 50k years, but probably a lot more), there are no space for BS, apart jokes, or seriously consequences on survival will occur.
Today billion of humas live in a global group, words/information/data come fast and in quantity unmanageable. Reason has to work hard, and BS in the flux come and has spaces to stay, and consequences are delayed and indirect, damped by so many complexity/levels in the social structures (to simplify a lot).
At the beginning of newspapers era, come also some BS (propaganda), but action was manageable, it was not too fast, too much/per-day, we have time to rethink about the news of the past day, bu neverthles bring nations in wars and begin revolutions..
Now simply is an overload, we can't manage it. It's like a virus (pardon L.Anderson), and any cure is totally on the peculiarity of the intellectual-immune-system of the single, but for the humankind exposed is a caos, litterally, like pollution, is simple too much.
