Crushing consolidation of news, newspaper, magazines, and media in both printed and digital form are the cause of distrustfulness when “narratives” are being crafted by and in the hand of fewer but more-consolidated owners.
This is called “mainstream media”.
Budding writers of mainstream media are then forced to craft a disingenuous storyline to befit their masters.
This is called a “narrative”.
Unless they can secure their own wage and seek out the truth to the bottom of a story, they are called “muckrakers” and they would be practicing “yellow journalism”.
And this current situation is not healthy for a freedom of press needed to maintain a robust form of democracy, pure (simple) ot not (Republic).
For now, your local bar and neighbor shall remain closest to the kernel of truth.
