I've lost my trust because it appears that wealthy owners (and publishers) put a distinct pro-wealthy people slant. Beginning in 2005, when NYT was revealed to have spiked the story of NSA mass surveillance, to the squelching of presidential endorsements, we've seen a lot of it.
It's also true that a lot of anti-oligarch news gets published, there's some bells you can't unring. If news orgs published only Baghdad Bob type lunacy, they'd loose all credibility. Framing and selective publishing can do the trick.
