The author links to a study to back up their claims, and that study is a single survey of a grand total of 34 people. A survey of 34 people was turned into a vast, sweeping, manipulating, headline + article which claims that the journalism trust problem is about money, not politics. From a single survey of 34 people, they're decreeing what the problem with journalism is.
I'm not going to attempt to point out all the other litany of logical fallacies, disgusting social manipulation tactics, and other problems with the rest of the article, I could type page after page. It's so ironic how many problems exist in this article which writes about problems in journalism. They have no self awareness.

My main problem with the methodology here is that it is completely qualitative with no reason. It would have been very simple to do a quantitative analysis and reach numbers that have statistical significance.
