Amy Goodman narrates a gorgeous animation about Chomsky's "Manufacturing Consent"

Well, one could take oneself out of the media stream and seek out other info sources (ex: public records, vetted research, etc.), although that would still leave out enough info to allow a good decision.

The media (news sources… not TV or film) could (and at least some have already) develop their own internal, autonomous filters (ex: fact checkers, watchdogs, ‘gates’, investigative divisions, etc.) and fight fire with water.

I’m not saying these are absolute solutions, but they’re certainly better than doing nothing.
