True. But many people do not check sources and do not want sources. The more sources you link, the more likely your message is ignored or downvoted or considered spam. Some comment section tools even refuse posts with too many links.
The EU fights against sources.

> Fight partisanship/polarization.
This is what every party/camp is fighting for. Maximize the own party/camp, minimize the party/camp of the others.
I agree that much could and should be done. E.g. voting with paper ballots every 4 years like centuries ago should be replaced by secure online voting that gives decision power to every citizen at any time for any political decision.
> Fight corruption.
At least in the USA, voting for Democrats or Republicans is voting for corruption. Corruption is a sign of quality for US voters. The more connected with the industry and the more money for campaigns, the better and stronger and more real and more competent the party appears to voters. Too few US people vote for the poor unknown parties with no coverage by the mainstream media that calls itself the reasonable truthful trustworthy non-fringe mainstream media.
> Stop emotionally framing things.
I doubt that this is a solution. E.g. too many US Americans do not care about their evil actions in the world. Maybe they know about them but they do not care enough. The US military is considered as a trustworthy glorious organisation instead of a tool of and for evil persons to promote death and misery worldwide.
Recent example after decades of war crimes:

- Pompeo Backed Yemen War For Weapon Sales Profit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azx90nHiIeg
US Americans refuse to remove misery and poverty even in their own country.

Although US Americans might care, they still behave as if they did not.

> Reject online advertising.
I do not think that lack of money improves communication and reporting. Survival and work requires money. Money is received either by random advertising or by direct sponsorship by companies or by an existing paying loyal audience with a certain world view or by a revolution of the economic system that guarantees economic human rights and safety for all.
