You'll have to forgive me but I can still remember when millions of people listened to, called into and cranked each other up on late night radio. The existence of a conspiracy touting ignor-mob-us is hardly concrete evidence of informational decline.
It is possible that social media has intensified this problem. Perhaps more cranks can crank harder together now than before or perhaps not. But "just look at all the people on Facebook" isn't material comparative evidence.
