5. Know & Share the Truth
TRUSTED MEDIA IS CRITICAL TO UNDERSTANDING OUR WORLD.
We need fact-based journalists, analysts and media outlets to report on the truth. Now, too many media are owned by billionaires and the reporting is biased or outright lies.
LIES & MISINFORMATION CAUSE HARM.
When lies are routine and fact-checking is eliminated, then hate and conspiracies fester. Also, these tactics are meant to confuse and make it hard for people to find the truth.
GOOD NEWS FROM GOOD PEOPLE!
There are many trusted influencers who report the facts and share their honest views. Also, many good, honest journalists are leaving mainstream media and joining new outlets or creating Substacks.
