      Our society seems to be rather gullible about falling for hoaxes, false flags, and false allegations. What are some practical ways we could increase skepticism, due diligence, due process, and objectivity?

      It starts with the journalists, as they are the choreographers of public sentiment. And, as it stands, journos have a greater incentive to report fast than to report accurate. So perhaps the law could be changed to provide tangible punishments, such as fines, for misreporting.

      Should the law also be changed to impose fines on politicians and public officials for misrepresenting, for disassembling, etc. Who will be covered and who will not be covered? What about a prosecutor who does not disclose full facts. Where do you stop?

      There already exist laws against lying in certain arenas (e.g. defamation, fraud, purgery, etc). It's pretty easy to keep things clear cut.

      A politician tweets a false claim about a person. It spreads without the intermediation of a journalist. The false claim persists, is retweeted many times. Should the law cover this?

      So there are existing laws that people can resort to, even if the case law may not suggest a successful suit. So why the need for a new law? The news market as currently structured offers enough incentives for misreporting and for reporting of misreporting.

          Bear in mind I'm talking about employees of large news orgs of the MSM that are considered trustworthy by the majority of people. I'm not talking about regulating anyone who calls themselves a journo.

          Would you include FOX, Sinclair, Infowars, Rush, etc in the category of MSM? They have a large following who trusts them. NYT is considered peddler of falsehood by a lot of folks. How do define MSM?

          A hypothesis that needs to be tested. Enough work for a whole bunch of PhD. candidates!
