the internet is a kike chink hole of bullshit.
I often refer to it as a "netherworld". Replace a day in ones life with "magic mirrors" rather than "smartphones" and only as an outside observer will they see the absurdity of everyone's addiction to the "internet hive mind".
If you want a free press ..
It seems that this never becomes the case. In the spirit of the idea "nothing is free" is true in this case, but also is the idea of "press liberation". It will always end up with somebody forcing themselves up, and others off the microphone.
However, in the spirit of what you seem to be saying (i.e. ones ability to get non-biased information) could "sort of" become a reality if ONLY mentors biased toward instilling mastery in the youth. Then, they can protect them from falsehoods by teaching them that literally everything is bullshit to be rejected without proper basis and testing. Plato said something akin to "protecting the younglings from actors until they master mathematics". This would innoculate the children as adults with "bullshit filters" so they just laugh at out of towners coming in to sell garbage.
you'll need a roll of cheap newsprint and a gestetner machine and hand deliver it
I guess what I'm saying is that people won't appreciate news "delivered" but need to be taught to yearn for discerning the truth themselves. But for certain nefarious groups have taken over the media so that others "can't afford" to even bother being in the news delivery business.

People get addicted to affirmation. Those who go through processes "the hard way" are always better off. It started with giving kids calculators in grade school math and now this creep seems to say it's the same thing if they get a golum to tell them the answser rather than actually figure it out themselves. It will be a world where 2+2 is what ever the screen says it is.

If you want a free press and a free exchange of ideas you'll need a roll of cheap newsprint and a gestetner machine and hand deliver it

"... but need to be taught to yearn for discerning the truth themselves". The truth of that makes me very sad. There's not even curiosity.
