‘In the pre-Internet age,
our society had an order of information in which knowledge was managed
by experts and authorities, as well as representatives of the
political, legal, scientific, medical and economic powers-that-be.
Academics, scientists, spokespersons for the state and the owners,
producers and editors of the major media decided what was real and what
was unreal, what was true and what was false. The upside of this was
that an awful lot of utter nonsense did not find mainstream
distribution. The downside was that some material was misclassified as
unreal or false – either by error, or because of interest group
pressure, ideology or group-think.’
