I value your insights. Still, I grasp your concern… I have it myself. But given MSM bias now, it feels important that journalists like you provide ‘the other side’ and truth.

"Young people today may not grasp how tough it was to scour a library for an elusive book that held the facts you needed."

This may be beside your main point but it raises something interesting - information is so readily available that it is often unappreciated. The stickiness factor is not the same as having to go to the library, navigate the Dewey Decimal System (how many younger people even know what that is?), find the book(s) needed, read it/them while taking notes, and so forth. When finding something out takes that much time, you tend to remember it.
