If that is true (undermining public perceptions of thruth and validity)
Then I think there are two options available: - Censorship - Education
What would you choose, and think works in the long run?

Censorship can, under the right circumstances, be effective but requires either a very delicate hand and be more or less invisible or oppressing the opposition until it exhausted itself one way or another. Sometimes it seems to work out only to end up reinforcing believes, leading to a deeper internalization and radicalization.
Education requires focused, continued, honest effort. It requires rolling that damn boulder up the hill until the hill itself starts to erode under your feet. It's a excruciatingly slow process. And it's so easy to forget that it needs to be a dialog no matter how much you think you're right.
I'm a strong advocate for the latter, but it's easy to see why so many gravitate to the former.
