I don't know what's going on, and I wonder who actually has accurate information.

Speaking as an early online person, who has long believed in the democratizing power and goodness potential of the Internet... Contemporary "social media" are usually wastelands, both of rampant manipulation, and of people who haven't yet learned critical thinking nor even seen much examples of same.

I would like to call for there to once again be eminently credible and respected journalists, academics, and officials, who research and understand various global situations, and report accurate assessments that people can trust.

Trustworthy experts could answer immediate questions, and also show everyone else by example, how to think and speak better, to answer future questions.
