#2> The real extent of this state of misinformation is known only to those who are in situations to confront facts within their knolege with the lies of the day
Well ain't this the cold, hard truth, eh HN? How many times have we seen science and technology just completely butchered, twisted, manipulated, or sometimes, all three, by the "truth-seeking journalists" over there at the establishment media companies? Yet we [willfully] ignorantly turn the page to the next section, say on sports or local affairs, and assume we are being fed facts.

More dangerous are the people who would implore you to ignore all sources from what they perceive are enemies and pay attention only to their (or your own) bubble and prejudices.
Posts with catch phrases like "establishment media companies" are usually a red flag.
This submissions feels more like launching point for arguing, little value to community.

Lot's of assumptions in this here reply that I would be happy to report back to you are incorrect (such as the one that I or others who feel this way subscribe to a certain particular "bubble", or that I am suggesting in any way shape or form you ignore anything)
And since you brought up feelings, this reply to my post feels like I may have struck a nerve with one of the aforementioned "establishment media companies" that you may hold near and dear to your heart. Is this how constructive conversation works?
How about this: let's talk about the situation I alluded to in my original comment, something called the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect. Something that has countless documented occurrences in (sorry to use this word again) establishment media companies. Does this meet your criteria for providing value to the community?

Best to look at raw data and original sources whenever possible. The media is an unreliable middleman.

That's pretty flimsy evidence to accuse somebody of wrongthink.
