This is not just bad. This is even worse if we consider a lot of people trust more any random charismatic person on Facebook or Twitter than a journalist, but the sad thing here is how I understand them.
In Spain we have so many examples about how mass media have made up news in order to manipulate people than I don't think many people trust in them any more. Just look up for a policeman called Villarejo and you will find how some police agents, politicians, and mass media business were working together hiding shady business and affairs of Juan Carlos I (the former King of Spain), making fake news about opposing politicians, and making smokescreens to hide corruption cases.
Without trusting mass media and random social networks, you only can verify yourself those spicy news looking in different places to know the truth, and even doing that, you can't have the real truth since every media have their ideology and they usually are really partisan to the party that back their ideology.
