Partly. I spent some time building a career to go into legacy media. And I got a few feet in before COVID (and my own demons) ended that path.

Thing is, some people just don't give a shit about being factual, they want to be first; they want to be the source; they want to be the focus. And while I have no metrics if misinformation is more concentrated in legacy media, it felt more prominent.

But legacy media is just one subgroup of how humans communicate. Misinformation isn't predicated on any system of communication, but on communication in general, and the persons within (look at the telephone game, for example).
