A decline in trust of mainstream media poses several dangers, particularly if it leads to a reliance on unverified sources or a fragmented understanding of factual events Misinformation, increased political polarization, and a decline in civic engagement are results Trained journalists matter!

This is not a one sided issue. joe and mika stood on msnbc and let trump run wild in 2015..... Profiting off of information/misinformation has consequences

Yeah journalists need to remember there are not two sides to every issue, and that all that matters is the truth and they are tasked with identifying lies and liars

Except for the $Billionaire-owners stepping in to help end the USA, such as Jeff Bezos yanking his newspaper’s Editorial Board endorsement of Kamala Harris from publication in October 2024. I ended my subscription to the WaPo. The owner of the LA Times did the same. Bye-bye subscription!
