I think most people in the US rightfully have a total disdain for the media. The vast majority of articles are clickbait, propaganda or are outright wrong. Many big organizations (Hearst) have outsourced the majority of local reporting to the third world countries where they can pay pennies on the dollar.

> I think most people in the US rightfully have a total disdain for the media. yes and no. > In 2022, there were 161.42 million people registered to vote in the United States. > As of December 7, 2020, 66.7 percent of the eligible voting population in the United States voted in the 2020 presidential election 2020 election had 158.398m votes ~239m eligible voters I'm lead to believe that a significant portion of those "active voters" are influenced/pay attention to/care about the media. Whether it's a weird "self-harm" relationship where it makes them upset/sick/mad, they still "do it to themselves"
