>Reputation is the usual solution.
Since it's no longer political to mention Iraq: every major news organization lied about the war, they knew they lied about it and millions died. The only person to be held accountable for this was the one person to tell the truth: https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/phil-donahue-iraq-war https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/phil-donahue-iraq-war
We can't solve the issue of truth through our current institutions because those institutions are rotten to the core. The best we can do is keep them from destroying the channels from which we can hear how badly they are fucking up and allow us to organize.

My point was about small communities though. For country scale organizations it's a much trickier problem indeed.
- corimaith 2y agoIt's sad how a comment decrying the falsehoods of institutions is relaying it's own falsehoods right here...

- impossiblefork 2y agoI think it's beyond current institutions. It's so easy to infiltrate and subvert any well-regarded institution, so it can't be institutions. It has to be decentralised, i.e. you or an open source software agent that you control is what's doing the filtering and deciding what you see. It has to be a moderatorless system where you end up with what you actually choose.
