Let us also keep in mind that "the media" has changed... to where it now requires independent research to source everything. Did an article actually come from a reliable news source, or is it "Bob's Opinion," published in Bob's basement with clickbait headlines because that's how Bob (who doesn't give two bits about the actual news) has decided to make a living?

Of course, Bob is party to creating a mistrust-bias.

On one level, all these independent "citizen reporters" can be a good thing, but let's not forget there are also many "Bob's" whose only dedication is to make money for tacos.
