The burden of proof and discovery makes the goal of information too complicated for many. The more complex a system, the more it's likely to fail.
And when it's a technochristofascist authoritarian government or it's media allies being the 'fact' checker? We cannot rely on institutions or arbiters as the gate keepers of accuracy.
My solution would be to teach people to be skeptical, how to recognise biases, and how to fact check on their own.
