It's a difficult task to relinquish a trust in something that is engrained into one's social-identity.
The mainstream news works because it's simply based on the presumption that they dare not
lie because 'someone' in authority would tell them to stop. For anyone over 30 years of age,
our parents and everyone you grew-up with never questioned it, so why would you?!!
By constantly reminding the public that they have ethics, rules and some kind of magical word
to access behind a curtain to people of note, we're regularly indoctrinated into thinking the MSM
are the bridge between the Elders of the Political Church and us, the worshipping public.
The use of words is also a stumbling block for many who watch and read the news.
Simple tricks like "X-newspaper reported..." and "Sources of X-newspaper suggest..." take a story
that -with little intrigue, into a place where innuendo and suspicion can be sown to enhance a
mundane incident.
They do lie, but in a manner that -if queried, can be described as a poor reflection of what occurred
or what was said. The more cynical of us would call it 'biased news' and it's been with us a long time.
The latest trending expression 'The Reset' holds some of the power that the MSM are hoping will bring
them back into a position of being of -not so much trusted or respected, but the only way the public
can discover what's going on.
But as Mystic said, the internet is still strange to the conventional media, that information usually discarded
for various reasons can still be accessed. However, it means a diligence and truthfulness must be aspired
to. We're not there yet, but the standards the MSM are supposed to adhere to will become those that alternative
media on the internet will have to embrace.
To make this a success, it'll need old-school adulthood, which is not a demeanour enjoyed on a medium where
everything seems a joke and discourse tends to be bombastic.
