I think this is the kernel of what you are saying, and I hope that it finds its way above all of the noise about specific websites or conspiracy theories:

> Does it matter to anyone what is actually True any longer, or have we mass adopted a culture of "the ends justifies the means" to managing and discussing the affairs of the world? Should bad ideas be fought with better ideas, or with censorship (formal, or informal) and pretending they do not exist?

And I believe this is your end goal:

> the abilty ... to ascend to a level of more thoughtful, less combative/partisan communication and sense making

Is that a fair set of summary quotations?
