probably not. It's the nature of the press. Those most motivated to dominate the public square are those with agendas to push. The founders of the USA understood this. That's why they kept government OUT of all matters "free speech," and why the big networks and Big Tech are doing everything they can to censor.
The founders never kidded themselves that the press was objective truth. They just insisted that no one could be silenced, so that if you lied, somebody could call you out.
Ever since our nation's founding, SOME of the rich and powerful have done their damnedest to dominate the media, so their lies would be the unchallenged truth in the public square. They sanitized almost all network t.v., radio and print media, and one message was all that was seen or heard for most of the 20th Century. Then the Internet happened, and they've been trying to put the Internet on lock-down ever since.
And everything they do in Washington, DC, to "help" just makes things worse. While they're debating Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, I'm the one guy out there saying "Legislating on decency in communications is a violation of the 1st Amendment, and a MASSIVE over-reach by the federal government."
