Do you have evidence for that? What if you're wrong and your suggestion is making it worse? It's bold to claim in the age of social media that you know the best way to control it when we're in new territory.
It's not like the 80s or 90s when the only way to get and spread news was gated through a small number of newspapers and TV channels. If the media at the time refused to publish a story because of quality or trustworthiness issues, is that really so different here?
