Having been on the in and outside of numerous cases I got to say I lost all confidence in even the most reputable media outlets (like NYT). I don’t know about the media our parents had but I can personally attest that today’s media is poor entertainment at best and hateful propaganda at worst. I stopped reading 99% of news a year ago (by blocking all outlets websites on my phone and computer) and am just doing fine...heck I would say I am actually doing better since I have more headspace for things that really matter and have more balanced view points (the later is obviously self attested). The real news trickle up to me anyways.
