Interesting post. Your assessment of the media environment we are in now seems correct. It is an asymmetric media landscape. Mainstream media strives to be unbiased, while the right wing media is flagrantly biased. Often this leads to the mainstream media sane-washing Trump by 'summarizing' what he has said instead of just publishing his nonsense spew.

This renders media sources that try to be reputable to become ineffectual. It gets caught up trying to figure out what is fact, what is opinion, and most media is not qualified to tell the difference, so it defaults to presenting "both sides". As a result, most media sources that try to be reputable when covering mankind's effect on climate end up being near useless and ineffectual. They do not inform their consumers about the world. They confuse it. The governance model that reputable media tries to follow has been pushed beyond its limits.
