The Wright brothers complained about the press. People writing about things they did not understand and other reporters copying that misinformation. They also complained about national bias by foreign press.
So much of what we complain about is not at all new.

Totally agree with you. The thing that has changed is the internet. Instead of a local paper with hundreds of followers, now a 16 year old sitting in their mothers basement can have a million subscribers. It's the bullhorn effect that is causing the "overload".
