what may be different now is the sheer amount of competition among different talking heads and "public" figures. I saw a list of the influencers and celebrities that the government was paying and it was thousands of names long. In the old days, it might have been three tv stations, the NY Times/WAPO and a few celebrities.

Well, child preachers ye shall always have with you. And being paid to yak at people is a lot easier than having a real job. That's why telemarketing became such a growth industrly long before we had them teeny hand-held computer thingies.
It's not new to need a hearty dose of common sense to make it through life. It's not new to need to shut the book or put down the magazine when it gives ridiculous advice.

so maybe what's different is the level of gullibility in the general public. this could easily be true.
Good grief. Gullibility is as old as civilization.
It's just there's more general public to gull.
