I’m more and more distrustful of the mainstream (aka legacy) media. Possession of it’s within the arms of surprisingly few individuals. This makes reported information prone to manipulation by people which have an agenda which may be at odds together with your need for “simply the information.”

In 1976, when the united stateshad solely three or 4 nationwide over-the-air TV stations and no Web, 72% of Individuals trusted mass media. A Gallup ballot discovered that in 2023, solely 32% of Individuals had a “nice deal” or a “truthful quantity” of belief within the mass media. A bigger proportion—39%—had “none in any respect.” In view of AI or CGI-generated imaging, it’s getting laborious to consider something you don’t see with your individual eyes.

A lot of the mainstream media (aka legacy media) consumed within the U.S. originates from a handful of corporations. From a 2021 essay by Helen Johnson:

In 1983 there had been 50 dominant media companies. In the present day there are 5. These 5 conglomerates personal about 90 p.c of the media in the USA, together with newspapers, magazines, guide publishers, movement image studios and radio and tv stations. As of 2020, the 5 media giants are AT&T (Time Warner, CNN, HBO), Comcast (NBC Common, Telemundo, Common Photos), Disney (ABC, ESPN, Pixar, Marvel Studios), Information Corp (Fox Information, Wall Road Journal, New York Submit) and ViacomCBS (CBS, Paramount Photos).
