I'm not sure if it's access to information is such a problem any more. If anything it's information overload. It's all about what information to reject and what information to accept. It's like the whole industrial information machine is built to exploit that concept. For instance, people will choose to believe what the Republicans say and reject anything a Democrat says, because most people want to choose WHO to believe and not WHAT to believe. Because it's hard to do things like assess motive objectively, as people tend to have very subjective opinions about the source of information. Like I had this girlfriend that lied to me all the time, blatantly, but it took me years to accept that fact because she was so damn hot. I believed what felt good.
