I basically agree. News media being used as a tool to manipulate people isn't new. And there are still quality news sources available. What I think has changed is the number of junk sources and the reach those sources can have. All you need is a laptop and an internet connection and you can reach most of the world. If they choose to listen. All you need is a phone to reach those who choose to use social media as a news source.
