> I've also noticed a news radio program I sometimes listen to, is now taking more breaks to advertise themselves. Not programs or content, but just how good they think they are in general, and how trustworthy they are. It's self-congratulatory cringe.
Touting a particular feature is generally a sign that you don't actually have that feature.
Food advertised as healthy ("now with 10 vitamins and minerals!") is probably junk food masquerading as healthy. The tomatoes and broccoli in the produce section, on the other hand, have no advertising but you know they're healthy.
Along those same lines, if I have to tell you how trustworthy I am, you should take everything I say with a grain of salt. IMHO you need to find a new (better) favorite news source.
