Also, the availability of responsible discussion in alternative media 
offers at least a small contrary force to the surge of misinformation 
from traditional sources. As a result, those who consult Google or 
Wikipedia -- with an open-minded and skeptical attitude, of course -- 
are likely to be better informed than those who rely on sources like 
the BBC. Perhaps this is the best outcome that we will get, but it's 
not the best that we could hope for.
