in the sense that if enough people say something that the first couple if pages of google search answers don't find any different answer, then it must be the truth. printed material is not as amenable to clean and easy change, so that now we've paved the road to brave new world/1984.
it's also notable that, while you can get a vast amount of detail on your favorite computer game or porn star, older stuff is vanishing, literally. anyone who used to do real research; cranking through microfilm and digging through old photos in newspaper morgues, for example knows that there's a vast amount of stuff out there, and not only is it not getting digitized, let alone put on the internet, it's too expensive to be maintained so it's getting chucked.
