An educated populace can better resist such issues. The solution is better journalism/reporting and better education.

Instead, the knee jerk reaction seems to be calling for further hollowing out of public education and less investment in traditional news media. I fear what that looks like after a few more decades.

RE investment in traditional news media.

No one trusts them anymore because they have all become partisan. The news nowdays doesn't seem to be about what happened. It's all takes. People disengage as a result. They watch it like sport.
