Unfortunately, to do that, we need a well educated, well informed public and we've got a large portion of the population that is hostile towards education and any news that doesn't parrot their conspiracy theories is dismissed as "fake news." Therefore, nothing will change any time soon.
Reminds of a remark by Churchill (I think) that democracy is the worst form of government except for all the other ones that have been tried.
