Which is both good and bad. We've all seen how those stupid internet rumors spread. And hell most of those aren't even believable (forward this and Bill Gates will give you $100, etc). What if, in this future "news on the web" world, some idiot starts spreading lies, but makes them believable? You'd end up with an information anarchy in which you could never really know what news was true and what was false. That, if possible, would be even more of a disaster than the news situation today is.
