Real news died because it ceased being against the law to lie on a news program during the Nixon administration. Fox News has been to court and won the right to broadcast falsehoods, because they are in the entertainment business.
It is in fact hard to get the real news from the major media outlets, but most are happy to be duped. They just pick their own poison, point to it and beat their chests.
Anyone who really wants to know what is going on can find out, but most just choose to find the outlet that supports what they already believe. It is true that the truth is indeed stranger than fiction. If someone were to parade it out, the opposition to it would be deafening.
