>The media is a mess. Even mainstream outlets like Fox routinely lie to their viewers. Other countries with stronger libel laws (like the UK) don't have nearly as bad a problem

Ever read the Daily Mail, the SUN and co? (Or for that matter the Guardian, for left-sided BS).

Did you just throw the Guardian in the same list as some of Britain's worst tabloids?

The Morning Star would have been a better example...

Sorry, but The Guardian is garbage. It’s not as obviously garbage as the DM et al, but they publish Laurie Penny. That’s pretty bad.
