As I completed my undergrad and graduate degrees in History, one thing that always stuck out to me was the concept of allowing enough time to pass before a topic could be critically researched.

I feel that on some level this type of perspective is needed in how our media and knee-jerk armchair theorizing happens.

Perhaps it is time to bring back the golden age of long form well researched and contemplated essays, investigations, exposé, etc.
