But you shouldn't have to actively fact check every headline from the BBC because their headline doesn't actually say what you read.

And there's very little value to "summarizing messages" if you aren't actually summarizing messages and the content doesn't match the summary.

Yes, you should do more critical thinking, but lowering the quality of information of every interaction with the internet very clearly makes things worse.
