Yes? That's kind of one of the founding principles of liberal democracy. It was a good idea in 1791, and it's still a good idea today.
The left is flipping its shit about "fake news" these days, but even in the US they've gone through far worse eras in terms of news reliability. The fact that you used to have gatekeepers who were more or less honest is an artifact of the startup costs of the television and newspaper industries, not some nirvanal state that has collapsed into darkness.
Seriously, go take a look at some of the shit pamphleteers were up to in the 1800s. The state of affairs today is nothing.
Democracy can survive people lying. It can't survive granting the government the ability to determine which "facts" the people are allowed to believe.
