Like Bitcoin once you realize the M5M and the mainstream financial institutions are scamming you, you them set yourself up for Shitcoins and Shit News because we are trained to look at the sources as authority. This leads to the skill of media deconstruction (NO AGENDA) and in order to get there you strive to look at others claiming to have solved the problem. Some are genuine, some are OPS and some are a hybrid of a little truth, a little dissent and maximum diversion.
The only solution is the liberal education, ironically, and than means learning how to think not what to think. This means grammar, rhetoric, math as in the Trivium. And just like all other NEWSPEAK the words are thrown around and the etymology is disregarded.

It's never too late to start. And when you realize that the grammar is incorrect, the language is hyperbole and the math is wrong you can move on to the next source or just realize that there is no direct connection to you and that the intention is not information.
