The latest disinformation and misinformation is also available on the internet. You can literally find "evidence" for any view you care to put forth if you search hard enough.
For example this guy created a fake news website complete with disclaimers at the bottom stating it wasn't real, and still plenty of people believed it.
I'm not saying the internet is a bad thing, any more than TV is a bad thing. They are both just mediums... and stupidity can flow through any medium.
I understand what you are saying. But the disinformation on the internet literally can't be worse than on the TV.
Simply because you can add your own view of the things without facing censorship (at least on places like Steemit and free blogs, not like Facebook where they censor everything).
So if the amount of disinformation on TV is X, then the amount of disinformation on the internet is Y, where Y<X because the truth will not be censored.
It's one thing to bury the truth under a mountain of disinformation, and it's another thing to not let it being published at all.
