I'm not saying the Republicans have better sources of information or that they're better informed. I'm saying the mainstream news outlets are completely undeserving of our trust considering how agenda-driven and partisan most of them are. My contention is "trusting the mass media" is not inherently a positive quality.

Given that people who trust the mass media, on average, have a more accurate view of what's happening in the world, it most certainly seems to be better than the alternative, does it not?
- kaesar14 5y agoThe mass media peddled lies to sell us on atrocities like the Iraq War, refused to hold the Obama administration accountable for the prosecution of financial crimes, and often have a media bias pro the Democratic party in general. How much airtime would the Hunter Biden story have gotten on MSM if it’d been Eric Trump? Like yeah, maybe CNN believes climate change is real, but on the issues that matter they’ve failed a countless number of times to inform the public on issues that matter. Settling for their garbage is pointless.
