Ok, then to the extent it's a media problem, which is to me a proxy for a problem of interpretation and disseminating interpretation as facts. Click Bait will be effective as long as the human brain is wired to process the environment for threat. "You won't believe what X tried to report on Y was doing". A slower news cycle could be useful, but it makes me wonder if that's not how it was already.. in the past, and also centralized the news. Learning from news itself may be part of the issue. I remain surprised by what a large percent of the population doesn't know the difference between journalism and opinion/editoral writing. Maybe something like www.mediabiaschart.com can help.
