ah, but that's not what all these "news sources" want you to do... they don't want to give you info to base an opinion... they want to tell you what to think.
Each one of them competes with the other so they give you what they heard as "facts". And in so doing, the people turn around and repeat what they heard.
Two people who hear two different news sources reports will very likely argue over what actually happened because they heard 2 different "facts" about the story.
And yet still, you can't expect a civilization based on instant information coming in thousands of frequency bands across hundreds of mediums to not listen to it. Once it's out there, it's in their head and once in there, it's an opinion that's just waiting to get out.
