seems like a good pick if you're into warmongering against Russia based on the one article I read about him that is probably fake news so who knows but I'll pretend I do

That's kind of bologna because 1)those two things aren't actually in competition, and 2) the Trump administration is one thing, with one message, more or less. The "media" is more of an amorphous concept. I wouldn't say that I trust the "media", but I trust the New York Times and Politico and The Atlantic and some individuals who work in TV, etc.

I trust the mainstream media. I also trust myself to trust all of it and form my own fucking opinion.


I also trust that conservatives can eat shit

Good journalism is ultimately just a form of good research....and like good research, a single investigative piece is not worth all that much on its own, nor is it meant to.

But the question I would ask is:

What if Americans had distrusted the press when Murrey Marder was exposing McCarthy's witch hunt?

What if Americans had distrusted the media when David Halberstam was exposing the conditions in Vietnam?

What if Americans had distrusted the press when Seymour Hersh uncovered the My Lai massacre?

What if Americans had distrusted the media when Woodward and Bernstein were exposing Nixon?

What if the American public had distrusted the media when Bob Parry was uncovering the Iran-Contra affair?

What if Americans had distrusted the media when Don Barlett and James Steele were detailing the mishandling of nuclear waste?

Our history, as we know it, is broadly informed by journalists. Our choices and responses to events, over time, consistently bear the marks of this relationship. I see little difference between distrusting the media and distrusting research on the value of vaccinations.

An absurd comparison, and also:

Also also, what the mainstream media doesn't report is as important as what they do.

Of course I trust nothing. And I question everything I read. Again, you mistake my lack of faith in institutions and authority as some kind of nihilism.
