It would actually be interesting to take a vacation to the media bubble of someone who thinks that there is not a huge problem there. Painting in broad strokes, the distrust is there for the "first, distrust corporations" left and the "first, distrust the media and big government" right. I don't imagine there are many people wholly outside those camps, at least not on something like this.

I think it is mostly all together, "distrust big corporations that are obviously corrupting the government and media". Big corporations that have large political clout and donations to media and then use that to cover for nefarious actions that would normally be illegal and horrifically unethical. When you have corporations writing your laws, they will cover for themselves, even when it is at the cost of human life and voter constituencies.

Both sides correctly believe the big corporations work against their side. However they both incorrectly believe those corps work for the other side

As a member of neither camp, my reasoning: Money means far too much. We can fix a lot of problems by any of the following: - Making marketing illegal and imprisonment for violators starting at CEO and working down - Taking opinion out of the news and imprisoning violators starting at CEO and working down - Having corporatations/government agencies which break laws face criminal consequences starting at CEO/Top rank and working down. - Removal of costs for education and imprisoning any people cheating the system, starting at the top and working down. - A global food program for rice(?) and bean(?) that ensures no belly is ever without at least some nutrients. -A global housing program to ensure every person is able to be sheltered and stable. In this instant case(assuming what I have read is true and if not, notice the point tackling that) we have some heads of some departments going to jail, whoever actually caused the strike to end can go to jail, the people in charge of basically doing a chemical terrorist attack can all go to jail as well. The people suffering could just temporarily move to new shelter and avoid chemicals. But frankly, none of that would be needed because people in power would finally have a single reason to give a single shit. We wouldn't be here discussing such an absurdity for the nth day in a row. Just imagine for a moment dying because of this incident... Be that person today, because before you know it, you will be that person by force.
