Genuine question - how so? If I want to find stuff out I go to wikipedia, nyt, guardian, hn, linked sites and so on. I'm not aware of that lot being noticeably less trustable than in the past? If anything I find getting information more trustable than before in that there are a lot of long from interviews from all sorts of people on youtube where you can get their thoughts directly rather than editorialised and distorted.
I mean the web was never a place where things were vetted - you've always been able to put any sort of rubbish on it and so have had to be selective if you want accuracy.
