You're not a simple conduit if you can use critical thought processes and can also understand that nearly every piece of information provided to you via any type of media arrives with some level of bias attached whether it's intended or not. Most of the smarter people like who are on this forum understand this for the most part I'm sure.

More information is fine, as long as the vast majority of folks are smart enough to not happily gobble up and regurgitate the BS. Of course that's a pipe dream at this point, which probably just reinforces your claim.

My theory is that there will actually be a backlash at some point against the biased media of all forms and that people in general are already becoming more skeptical, despite the ability for BS to propagate and being potentially easier and quicker than ever before. There's a tipping point in the human brain that can only handle so much cognitive dissonance until you want to run away from the source of it completely, and I think that for many of us we've already decided that we've past that point wrt news in general. But it will take some more time for less intelligent or more naive folks to get there.

TLDR: Eventually it will be assumed that, "Oh yeah, of course the news is BS." Which you're starting to hear already. Rinse repeat with any new sort of media that fills in to take its place.
