Trust in news collapses to historic low

  1. people trust media that spout info based on their already formed opinions....so media simply provides what the people want not the other way around. If people were not so desperate for conspiracy theories or any nugget of info they can blame the other party or politician for then we woukd not have whoring media and growth in alternative news.

    eh....it's not that simple. There is a giant conflict of interest between MSM and corporate interests. It's not just FOX/Murdoch doing it. For years, many "reputable" outlets have carried water for the defense sector and fossil fuel industry. Not reporting on news is in of itself no worse than straight up lying about news (fox), but it does the population a giant disservice.

    Independent media has done a good job of outlining these facts and even thought it is also filled with quacks and cranks, it's taking a giant chunk of audience from MSM. The MSM will have to either change their ways, continue losing audience, or pressure outlets delivering this content to nix the competition as they've been doing.

  3. That's an overstatement. Some media outlets still have their integrity intact.
