    34% Americans’ trust in the mass media to report the news “fully, accurately and fairly”. source

    Well if you really trust mainstream propaganda outlets you are in the minority. Why else would there be so many competition popping up.

      I think this study more shows Republicans (and to a lesser extent Independents) have been successfully indoctrinated to only accept propaganda sources, rather than that media has become worse over time. These are the people who think that COVID vaccines don’t work and that Trump is still President. They are factually wrong and they seek out biased sources to confirm their prejudiced untruths.

      And that’s exactly why this competition exists now; to use fools for political power. And, as usual, to separate them from their money.
