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.
