      Markets don't work for everything. Truth is one place where they fail.

      There is a bigger market for lies than the truth, because lies are so much less constrained.

      When the truth is boring, lies can be exciting. When the truth contradicts your beliefs, lies can confirm them.

      But while spreading more lies by introducing more market forces into journalism, the internet has also made it easier to find the truth.

          The result will be increasing knowledge inequality. The deluded and the well-informed will both become more so.

          It's not really about lies or truth. It's about information.

          The news is convoluted. It is not what it meant. Information is pointy. The exec. producers of news channels effectively create the news.

          Disagree. It's harder to parse the truth from lies than ever before. Reliable news sources are few and far between.
