Not a bad take.
We are experiencing an understandable loss of trust in established sources of information while being constantly surrounded by a cacophony of stuff that, due to its sheer volume and rhythm, we can't really handle in a genuinely thoughtful and critical way.
Not entirely wrong. After all, we live in the post-truth era, where even we cannot trust the most trusted media and where the fake news could very well be ended up as true.
