The trick is to choose not to engage in this.

I personally do not experience any clickbait, fear mongering, media manipulation and reduce misinformation to minimum.

I do not watch TV so I do not watch any news programs.

I do not read any online newspapers.

Even here on HN I block all newspapers. HN is about tech not some randon news arcticle about Musk or Trump. I dont see why I should even see what some other person thinks is news, when, for me modern news is just selling an agenda.

To block all news links on HN I just add these to Ublock origin, to block washingtonpost for instance. Also I live in the UK and I am not in slightest interested in USA news or any news at all.

news.ycombinator.##a[href="washingtonpost.com"]:upward(1)

I do the same for my search engines. change as required.

www.startpage.##.g:has(a[href="youtube."])

www.startpage.##a[href="youtube."]:upward(1)

This could be google, Qwant, duckduckgo etc, But I also block Amazon, google, youtube, meta, etsy, pinterest and all the other sites that fill my search pages that I do not want to enage with, read or buy anything from.

One mans crusade to protect himself from the shit.

life is great online, you just have to take responsibility.

Here on HN I now read real peoples blogs and articles that are interesting and thought provoking
