> but in a world where nobody cares about the facts when spreading a story, is there still a point?

I might be an illogical optimist, but I undoubtedly believe that’s the job of journalists and newspaper editors in such a world. To FIGHT false narratives and misinformation.

I'm an optimist, myself. But, I think the system can't be fixed until the ability for individuals/influencers to spread false narratives is heavily modified. The news literally cannot keep pace with the fake news. The latter takes a fraction of the time to generate and spreads using more guerilla like techniques.. and nobody is punished at all for enabling it.

We're asking credible news sources to fit a gun fit with sticks.
