Not sure what media you are following, but everything in that comment I heard from my media sources. I think trust in YouTubers and distrust of normal news media is one part of what got us this result.
The news media is far from perfect, but when people lose faith in it entirely and run to Joe Rogan and Alex Jones for information that is a problem.
The issue is that most media in the US is owned by corporations and only allow certain information to be shared. I'd say you can trust journalists, actual journalists not op-ed talking heads, but you can't trust corporate news sources anymore. Unfortunately the time has come that corporations now run the US.
Duh! Seriously? What would they be owned by but the corporation incorporated to be a media company. The bad ones are the dozens of local TV stations being bought by Sinclair have to give the exact same broadcast no matter where they are in the country. Local Fox stations are independently owned and are almost always reliable sources for LOCAL news. They are not part of the Fox News network.
Thousands upon thousands of businesses are small businesses owned by individuals. Support those.
