Trust in all forms of media [1], and institutions [2], is at an all time low. I'm not sure why that distrust would go away, with reading the output from a company that's clearly censuring/fudging that output.
I think any "damaging" trust would, clearly, be a transitory phenomenon, since the distrust in media and institutions is from an ability to see BS. I don't think some sentences on a screen will be as destructive as some think, because people don't appear to be as stupid as some believe.
