If you think the misinformation grift is sudden, you haven’t been paying attention. Misinformation predates the printing press. Which means it predates the Constitution. Government regulation of the press doesn’t prevent misinformation - it just makes it easier for the gov to silence dissent.
So what is your solution? Do nothing and let grifters control the national narrative. Back when it was just the printing press you were stalled by the limits of needing a printing press. Today any jack with an Internet connection can flood lies to thousands instantly.
In the days of the printing press you got whatever lies were printed - and there was no easy way to get different opinions or verify what you were told. We have more access to facts now than at anytime in the past. The key is teaching people media literacy and how to research.
And the steps you are taking to help that while Rome burns around you is?
Trying to stop people like you from throwing kerosene on the fire.
