Ideally, the voters can vote these people out. Politicians are not hatching from eggs, they come from people and reflect them. Same people who watch blatantly biased news, later are influenced by false ads. Improve education.

I do agree that politicians are the reflection of voters. I also agree that education needs to be improved, however I'm not sure how: modern education leaves almost no space for critical thinking,which is essential when dealing with false information. There's also a huge element of ideology,which rarely,if ever,can be changed. Lastly, if done right, masses can be convinced just about anything...
