    Rule #1: Don’t feed the trolls.

            Many “oldschool” outlets and startups like Axios are relatively idealistic, though of course they want to make money and make a living.

            What I’m trying to get at is that blanket demonizing all “media” like far right does is just going to bury the few earnest outlets left. More precise language (eg media conglomerates) is more accurate.
