The crux of this issue is there's more money available to push agendas and misinformation than there is market cap for authentic journalism. We need to free information and journalism from the clutches of capitalism -at least partially.

IMO a publicly funded entity like the CBC should provide infrastructure for independent journalism. They should be tasked with fostering a national association of qualified journalists, a logistical system to facilitate on-the-scene documentation, and platforming individually produced journalism. It would synergize with independent media that's largely relegated to youtube and social media.
