Dealing with a Fake a World

I don't know if it is the cynicism of aging or the zeitgeist but essentially every single news item I see on or off HN is either fake, misinterpreted, mispresented, unimportant, irrelavant or uninteresting.

Maybe 1-5% are actually ideas that could drive economic growth. Hypothesis: the seeking of moats and extractive
