@RustyCrab In modern era the most "accurate" way of procuring information and forming opinions, is something akin to bisection method - you take two shills from opposite sides, and pick the middle ground, then you get another two shills and iterate over and over. It's even more robust, if you have somewhat intermediate understanding of history, so you can support the new information with "extrapolation" of past truths and reject obvious outliers, basically if X happened, the more likely outcome that you observe now is Y, rather than Z.
Is there something you can do about it? Honestly, no, even some kind of vigilantims won't do. Major news outlets are completely compromised, while WWW is apparently converging to that cyberpunk future, where AI/bots will pollute the information and discourse to the point where it's worthless, inorganic gibberish.
