The main issue here is the herd mentality of masses. The majority does not want to have responsibility & do not care what really happens, they only care virtue signaling so that they feel good & go on their lives. Despite all the propaganda, the information is thanks to internet available freely unlike analog era which was totally controlled by the state & the elite. If people are too lazy to read, learn, do their own research, they will continue to follow the propaganda like the herd. Therefore I believe the main issue is lack of critical thinking rather than propaganda. There has always been, is and will be propaganda, there is no way to fix it, but for critical thinkers and sovereign minds, this is the best time in the history to be alive. Take responsibility, and question everything. This is my answer how to navigate and find the signal in the noise. 

 Virtue signaling. I blame the attention economy of Insta/X. Your self righteous indignation or anger is  in no way constructive.
