Hopefully, the internet will put an end to this kind of media manipulation in the long run.

Internet is as much of manipulated environment as MSM are, it's not a saving grace. Works in a way viral marketing works in the business, people get paid for posting. Though most of the time it's just a plain disinterest of the audience that makes things worse.

The difference is that the internet is a free marketplace of ideas. And in that environemnt, good ideas, and correct facts tend to beat out the bad and wrong ones.

A free marketplace of ideas doesn't magically mean better ideas beat out bad ones. Whoever has the most resources can put their ideas in more places online, get more coverage and following versus contradicting or opposing ideas, smear opponents' ideas, lining up more views for their videos and more readers for their articles by simply advertising their ideas in larger quantities and in more visible sites online. Pretty much the exact same way it is in the 'free market' of ideas on television, radio, magazines or newspapers...
