First, one needs to have a spare 40 minutes to watch, and especially if it's something we already know.
Next one should do a better job of filtering which 'media' will be your sources. Few media, MSM, are objective. Most have a bias leaning one way or another. Some require you to pay to 'view', the NY Times example she starts with is one of those.
Third, there is a broad range of news~entertainment systems within the blanket(broad-brush) classification of media.
All the above in consideration, I'll admit that most media are our to manipulate, but if one considers ALL media as "the enemy" and avoid such, how will one learn anything, have a clue regarding news and other essential information ?
Living in isolation isn't a good way for most people.
