How can we reverse it?

By refusing to buy in to media narratives that serve divide and conquer. It's one of those things that much easier said than done.

So we should ignore the news? What if it turns out to be true?

No we should ignore the narratives constructed around the news. Which is why I try to read as neutral of news sources as possible.

I'm not talking about denying reality, I'm talking about not buying in to stories that people want you to buy in to. Stories that make us easy to manipulate, and lead in to war, and abuse for profit.
