I don’t think there is a word to describe how important it is.
I’m watching a docu-series on the Vietnam War right now and it’s shocking how much America was lied to about what was going on. Once the press was allowed to report on what was really happening everything changed.
Information is power and we have to depend on the press to expose us to things we would have no way of knowing without them.
I think that is where our responsibility comes into play. I don’t know about others, and I fear it’s not as common as it should be, but I double, triple…and so check everything. I don’t take news at face value, but I would rather have to triple check a story/fact than not know I should be checking at all.

What do we do when the press betrays us as it seems has happened in modern times?

It is essential, as is an educated audience able to discern good journalism from mere propaganda, and demand the first and reject the second.
