Great Britain eke Northern Ireland wrote:I typically view the media as untrustworthy, for several reasons:
- the media is by and large in the hands of a few corporate conglomerates, and thus is favourable towards the owners’ interests;
- the media is an integral actor in the Europhone (and especially Anglophone) culture war, and may be argued as being institutionally biassed against indigenous peoples, including Europeans;
- the media, as a business model, is inherently biassed to publishing sensationalist stories and articles that generate clicks and readings rather than publishing important information for citizens’ own benefit;
and media’s own ties with governments and governments’ control over media, exploiting their business, allows governments to manipulate headlines and access to information, which makes them, in many cases, propaganda offices and machines for governments (this goes for state-controlled media like Russia’s and China’s, except in those cases, the matter is much more openly propagandistic while it’s more subtle in the West).

"From this day forward, I shall take up all the empire in my embrace. For I am father of the empire, as I am father to all creation. I will suffer no tired institution nor petty bureaucrat to stand between me and my children. I am the perfect loving god, and all will tremble to know me."

Compared to what?
Most of us here on the Anglosphere internet are citizens in democracies. Consequently it is our civic duty to remain informed about the key issues of the day, but no normal person has the time or energy to develop an expertise in every field of academics. At some point someone has to distill the world into something that normal people working 40 hours a week can fit into their spare time.
So if you don't trust conventional media to play this role, then who do you trust?
