@busybee3458 - This is one reason right wing governments ALWAYS defund education... In America, the GOP actually had a published strategy to breed their own idiot voter base. This is the story of why America is full of idiots. In the late 1970's and early 80's computers became a thing and you could process lots of statistical data for the first time. And the political parties did... The data showed the GOP they would be demographic-ed out of existence in a couple of decades. It also showed the GOP that stupid badly educated people - amazingly - voted for them. Voted AGAINST their own interests, as blue-collar workers and for the GOP. So the GOP started to breed their own supporters. They systematically defunded education - in 1976 education was 5.7% of GDP. In 1983 it was 3.4% Some of the specific changes they made were to STOP teaching critical thinking skills, skills that ALLOW people to spot a lie. And it was wildly successful. America now has an uneducated subclass of 35% idiots and it is enough to swing elections. In working on my book "How to survive in a collapsing society" I have been researching this for months. Its possibly the evilest social engineering / eugenics in history. They knowingly and deliberately engineered poor people with no future and lied to them for 40 years to stay in power and screw over working and middle-class Americans... And it WORKED - that is the unbelievable part to me - IT WORKED...

@busybee3458 you are very welcome. there is no easy solution. The best thing that could be done is to limit shareholding in media companies to say £2,500 max per person or organisation. That way they are owned by the public and do not represent the interests of individuals like Rupert Murdoch or organisations like CNN. Force social media to feature 50% opposite opinion in the news feed not 100% confirmation opinion. This would at least limit the echo chamber effect.
